group.finance helps you manage expenses among your friends (or acquaintances), making it simple to keep track of day-to-day expenses or purchases on group trips.
These features will make more sense once you
create an account or log in.
|
Other users that you interact with on group.finance are called acquaintances.
- To add other users as acquaintances, search for them in the search
bar at the top of the page.
- You can see your balances with other people on the
my tabs page. Click on a user there to see your full tab with them.
|
When you pay for something that other people participated in, you add it as
an expense.
- Only the person who paid should add the expense.
- When adding an expense, you can either split it with your
acquaintances, or split it among a group that you're a member of.
- When someone else adds an expense that you're involved in (or sends
you a message), you'll get an email notification. You can control the
frequency of email notifications from the
my profile page.
- If someone adds you to an expense that you disagree with, you can
decline it. After that, it will no longer be part of your
balance, unless you re-accept it or the other user edits it.
|
Create a group to make it easier to organize expenses for a group
trip or with roommates.
- You can see your groups or create new groups on the
my groups page.
- Turn on tab simplification within a group to reduce the number
of people you need to settle up with. For example, if you owe Alice and
Alice owes Bob, simplification can rearrange things so you owe Bob
directly instead, letting everyone settle up by making fewer transactions.
|
When you want to settle up with someone, go to their tab and click "resolve
tab" to pay them back. If the other user has Venmo or Zelle, you'll see
that there.
- After you've settled up with another user, add a resolution on
their group.finance tab to record that, which will update your balance
with them.
- If the other user uses Venmo, there will be a button under "resolve
tab" on their tab to pay them back through Venmo and automatically
record a resolution in group.finance.
- This just opens the Venmo
app with their username and amount owed pre-filled; group.finance
itself has no access to your Venmo account.
- You can set how you want others to pay you back (Venmo or Zelle) on
the my profile page.

"Group dot finance" is a mouthful. What should I call it in casual
conversation?
- When referring to the app/website itself: g.f ("gee dot eff")
- I love g.f.; it's way better than Splitwise.
- I just gave Jake some ideas for g.f improvements; he loves
receiving useful feedback.
- When referring to a specific user tab or group tab: the ledger
- Whoever paid for dinner, just put it on the ledger.
- Do I owe you money? Let's check the ledger.
- Has everyone entered their expenses for the ski trip into
the ledger?
