![Rename a Tiller Account](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/tillermoney/original/3X/e/f/efadc742e5c464c8f6f241c4846b48e483a1501b.jpeg) ### A Quick Tip: Personalize Your Spreadsheet by Renaming Accounts Hey everyone! Here’s a quick tip that I’ve found makes a huge difference in how clear my Tiller spreadsheet feels. When Tiller first syncs your accounts, it pulls in the official bank name, which is often something like “e-FREE CHECKING (123-456).” While accurate, it’s not always easy to read at a glance and can feel a bit impersonal. By giving your accounts custom names, you make your spreadsheet easier to scan and more connected to your actual goals. It’s a simple way to gain financial clarity. **Here’s exactly how to do it:** 1. Go to the Tiller Console at [my.tiller.com](http://my.tiller.com). 2. Scroll down to find **Connected Accounts**. 3. Find the account you want to rename in the list. 4. Click the Edit button to the right of the account name. 5. Select **Rename Account** from the dropdown menu. 6. Type your new, preferred name in the box and click the blue **Rename** button. That’s it! Just a heads-up, this change only applies to new transactions that flow into your spreadsheet. Existing transactions won’t be changed. **Need some inspiration?
