Michael, I have only done this once long ago, and my experience is/was that, ultimately, it all ends up as a currency-valued transaction, so it makes sense to treat the vesting process as a transfer of cash that is converted into the stock. If you are in the US,  you will discover that the IRS

Actually, at one brokerage house the cash actually gets swept into a special type of bank account rather than a MMF. In GnuCash I have set up a bank sub-account in those brokerage accounts that appear listed with the stock accounts in the reports. On Tue, Mar 23, 2021 at 7:21 PM David Carlson wr

I have used the Balance Sheet report for all my brokerage accounts for several years. It shows cash if it happens to exist, which is rare because it quickly gets swept into a money market fund. On Tue, Mar 23, 2021 at 6:21 PM Robin Chattopadhyay wrote: > Neither the Investment Portfolio or the

Neither the Investment Portfolio or the Advanced Portfolio reports appear to allow the inclusion of currency accounts. To include the Cash/Cash Equivalents in either of these two reports, I think re-structuring is your only option. Otherwise, experiment with the other reports that allow for contro

Hi! My employer has a stock grant program. Every ~3 months, some of the stock vests and I get it in a broker account. I think the most natural way to describe this would be to have an income account denominated in the stock, and when some stock vests, doing a transfer from it with the right number
