An overview of the finance module

Last updated on 11.08.2026

The Finance section gives your organisation an overview of income and expenditure – from bank transactions right through to analysis by project and purpose.

The typical workflow

  1. Import: Transactions are regularly exported from online banking and imported into Komma.
  2. Review and allocate: Each transaction is reviewed and assigned to a project or purpose – see Checking transactions.
  3. Process further: Confirmed transactions provide the basis for reports, membership fees, documents and donation receipts.

Who can view the finances?

Financial data is sensitive. This section is therefore only visible to users with explicit financial authorisation – everyone else does not even see it in the navigation menu. Authorisations are granted by the administrator (see Users and authorisations).

What the finance module is not

Komma is not a replacement for accounting software or tax advice. It is a tool for keeping track of day-to-day matters: Where do we stand? How are donations developing? Which project is self-sustaining?
