You first think about it by type, and then alphabetical order within each type. So if you don’t turn account numbers on, then it’s going to be an order by alphabetical order, but not primarily by alphabetical order. Now by default, QuickBooks does not usually have the account numbers on because the account numbers, although they can give you an added level of control also provide some more complexity within the process. So you’re going to put it in order by account type, you’ll note here, they didn’t have a big significant change between the two, because here we’re using account numbers. So in other words, you could order them by name here, you could adjust the order and put them in order by the name or in this case, the number because we’re using account numbers.īut the traditional way you want to look at it would be that it’s going to be an order by type. Typically, you can think of them in general order of the order of the balance sheet on top of the income statement in terms of account types.
All other reports generally are going to be supporting, in essence, some account generally on those financial statements. Which is going to be the accounts that are going to be making up the major financial statements, that being the balance sheet and the income statement. So for now, we’re just going to go over the Chart of Accounts and give the general idea of the chart of accounts here. But it can help us with a starting point. And given us some charts or some accounts based on that industry given us some industry standards. Even there, we’ll have some support and help from the QuickBooks software, because it’ll help us by having us select the type of industry that we’re in.
That’s when we’ll think about setting up the chart of accounts. When we go through the setup process and the second half of the course setting up a new company file. Unless you think that there’s some reason that you need to deviate from it. And your best practice there is to follow the conventions that have been done in the past, in order to have consistency. Therefore, if you’re going into a business that is already continuing and working within their bookkeeping system, it will already have a chart of account set up. Once set up, then you’re going to typically have the Chart of Accounts and you won’t have to think about it too much unless you need to add, say a new account, or in the event that you want to make substantial changes, thinking that the current chart of accounts that has been set up is not doing the sufficient job that you want it then to do. And it’s something you want to give substantial thought in when you first set things up, because it’ll be underlining what you’re going to be doing going forward. Therefore, I typically go to it in the lists, remembering that the chart of accounts can be thought of as a primary list type of account, which is in essence, QuickBooks kind of terminology.Īnd then we can go to the chart of accounts, that’s going to be the first item up top, the chart of accounts is something I’m going to close out the item on the left hand side that you’ll typically set up when you first start the QuickBooks file. Obviously, in order to build the financial statements balance sheet and income statement, we have to set up the chart of accounts first. It’s something that needs to be set up the foundations of everything that we’re going to build. Sometimes I use these other flows within the homepage because it helps me to see the flow.īut the chart of accounts is something that kind of underlines it’s not something that you’re going to use during the normal flow process. And now we’re going to be looking at our chart of accounts the chart of accounts can be found on the right and the company area on the homepage, I don’t typically do it from that area. I’m going to increase the font, I increase it to 14 on the font then reports dropped down, I’m going to go to the company and financial profit and loss there it is going to I’m going to increase the font here as well there we have it fought at the 14, I’m going to go back to the homepage on the left hand side.
