Exporting
your data.

A full CSV of your revenue, expenses, products and fixed costs. What's in each file, what's not.

Always available. Your data is yours — export any time, no questions, no fees. Even after you cancel your subscription, the export is available until your account is fully deleted.

Data portability is a core nouz commitment. Your revenue, expenses, products and fixed costs export as plain CSV any time you want them — and the export is intentionally simple to re-import elsewhere if you ever leave nouz.

01 Where to start the export

Open Settings → Account. Scroll to "Export data" — a single button. Click it and you'll get a ZIP file with four CSVs:

02 What's in each file

  • revenue.csv — every revenue entry, both manual and product-sale, with date, cash, card, tax rate, gross, tax, fees, net.
  • expenses.csv — every expense entry with date, category, amount, note.
  • products.csv — your catalogue with name, sale price, COGS, tax rate, status (active/archived).
  • fixed_costs.csv — every fixed cost with name, amount, frequency, start date, end date.

Each file is scoped to the active location. If you have multiple locations, switch the picker and re-export per location.

03 What's not in the export

  • Computed P&L totals — re-derive from the raw data, or use the monthly P&L export from the P&L tab.
  • Statistics insights and tags — these are computed live, not stored.
  • Your account email, password, or billing details — those live on Stripe and your auth provider, not in nouz's exportable data.

04 When to export

A few good occasions to take a full export:

  • End of year — annual backup. Stash the file with your tax records.
  • Before changing currency — historical entries don't convert, so export first if you're switching.
  • Before deleting your account — after 30 days the data is gone permanently.
  • Periodically, just in case — once a quarter is a healthy cadence.
