The Accounts App lets you create and modify transactional accounts and sub-accounts that sync with QuickBooks.
What is an Account?
An account is a way for your company to categorize its money: be it income, expense, equity, asset, or liability. Transactions and items are assigned to accounts. This helps your accountant organize the Chart of Accounts in QuickBooks and keep track of your day-to-day funds.
