Chart of Accounts

The Chart of Accounts is like the backbone of your accounting system. It’s a list of all the accounts where money in your business is tracked what you earn, what you spend, and what you own. Every sale, purchase, or expense gets recorded into these accounts, so at any time, you can review how much money you have, how much you owe, and how much you’ve earned.
