Using the Accounts App

Accounts sync from QuickBooks.

Updated this week

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.

The Classes App is part of the Accounting Lists Pack, which is installed by default in every Method account.
