Resumo prático:

-   **categoria** classifica a natureza do lançamento;
    
-   **centro de custo** classifica a responsabilidade interna;
    
-   **tags** refinam busca e segmentação;
    
-   **plano de contas** dá estrutura gerencial/contábil à categoria;
    
-   **grupo de DRE** define como a categoria aparece no DRE.
