Setting the workspace time zone
The workspace time zone is selected during workspace creation. Workspace owners can change it in Workspace settings → Workspace profile settings.
Choose the time zone that should provide the workspace’s local date reference. This gives workspace members a consistent reporting context, including when they access Worthic from different countries.
On mobile, open More → Workspace profile → Edit workspace profile, select the workspace time zone, then save.
What the time zone affects
Worthic uses the workspace time zone for date-sensitive display and reporting logic, including:
- Timestamp-based date displays: Where workspace-aware formatting is used, a timestamp is converted into the workspace’s time zone before its calendar date is displayed.
- Current reporting period: The workspace-local date determines which cashflow reporting period is current.
- Dashboard and account labels: Workspace-aware date labels appear in dashboard, account, net worth, reporting, and settings views.
This matters particularly near midnight or the start of a reporting period. It can already be a new day or month in the workspace’s time zone while it is still the previous day where a user is located.
Changes to the workspace profile, including its time zone, are recorded in the workspace’s audit history.
Time zone, date format, and reporting period
These settings serve different purposes:
- Time zone establishes the workspace-local date when interpreting a timestamp or determining the current reporting period.
- Date format controls how that date is displayed, such as day/month/year or month/day/year.
- Cashflow reporting period determines whether monthly reporting follows calendar months or an offset date range.
For example, a reporting period starting on the 25th runs through the 24th of the following month. The workspace-local date determines which of those periods is current.
Changing the time zone does not change the reporting-period start day or the selected date format.
On mobile, use Edit reporting period on the workspace profile for the reporting cycle. Date display and time zone are separate preferences.
Transaction dates are separate
A calendar date stored without a time, such as 6 October 2026, is generally treated as that date rather than shifted between time zones.
For transactions, distinguish between:
- Ledger date: The original source date retained for an imported transaction.
- Cashflow date: The date used to place the transaction in cashflow reporting.
- Accrual date: The date used in applicable accrual-based reporting, according to the reporting line’s accounting method.
Changing the workspace time zone does not rewrite an imported Ledger date or replace the transaction’s Cashflow or Accrual date.
If a transaction belongs in a different reporting period, review its reporting dates and accounting settings. See Transaction dates and accrual.
Bank posting and settlement delays
A transaction’s availability from a bank connection is separate from the workspace time zone.
A payment may be visible in your banking app as pending or unsettled before the provider makes it available to Worthic as a posted transaction. Availability and timing vary by provider.
Changing the workspace time zone will not make an unsettled transaction arrive sooner.
If a transaction appears to be missing:
- Check whether it is pending or posted at the bank.
- Check the connection’s Sync Health in Worthic.
- Search the relevant account with a wider date range, or leave the search dates blank to include all available history.
Worthic matches incoming bank records to existing transactions so that previous edits, confirmations, and splits can be retained. For an existing connection requiring attention, use Repair rather than creating another connection.
