The chart of accounts

Each client has its own chart of accounts. Companies, guarantee companies and LLPs get the company chart, and sole traders and partnerships get a chart grouped under the SA103F boxes.

How accounts are numbered

  • 0000 to 0999 fixed assets, 1000 to 1999 current assets, 2000 to 2999 liabilities, 3000 to 3999 capital.
  • 4000 to 4999 income, 5000 to 5999 direct costs, 6000 to 8999 overheads, 9999 suspense.
  • Key accounts include 1100 Trade debtors, 1200 Bank current account, 2100 Trade creditors, 2200 VAT, 2210 PAYE and National Insurance, 2300 Directors' loan account and 3100 Profit and loss account.

Adding an account

  1. Open Chart

    On the client, open the Chart tab.

  2. Fill in "Add an account"

    Enter a code and name, choose the heading it goes under in the accounts and the kind of account, and a usual VAT code if it has one. Fixed asset accounts also take the class of asset and whether the account holds cost or depreciation.

  3. Save

    Press "Add the account".

Renaming and archiving

Open an account to rename it or change its heading. The change carries through every report and the next accounts built. An account can be archived once its balance is nil.
