You can add any outside accounts that are not supported by our account aggregation provider, Plaid, directly into Atlas.

Here is the required information:

  • Security Symbol - If you are entering a symbol that does not already exist, a new manual security will be created.

    • The symbol will be prefixed with MH- by default

  • Account Number - Enter the account number you would like to update. If this is a new number, a new account will be created and hold the security entered above.

  • Ending Balance - The desired ending balance for the provided account.

  • As of Date - Enter the date for which the update applies.

    • Future dates are not supported, the latest date available is today

    • For example if you want an account to show $100,000 on 9/30/2021, you should enter $100,000 as the Ending Balance and 9/30/2021 as the As of Date.

Optional information:

  • Deposits or Withdrawals - If any deposits or withdrawals took place in the account, you can enter those here.

    • Transfers will post on the as-of-date provided on the previous screen. If there were no transfers, you can skip this screen and any change in the account value will be assumed as change in market value.
