Accounts

Accounts are set up for each item on the financial statements and are analyzed to provide details for financial reports.  They each fall into one of the following categories:

• Balance Sheet Accounts - classified as assets, liabilities, or owner's equity

• Income Statement Accounts - classified as revenues or expenses.

Each daily transaction of a business has an impact on the at least two accounts.  For example paying $100 on an account in your payables would lower your cash level, but it would also lower your obligation.
