Learn how to:

• Create bank/financial accounts.
• Disable, edit or delete, bank/financial accounts.

When you first register for Flare, only two bank accounts are created automatically: Petty Cash and Cash in Registers. You must create other financial accounts like Checking, Savings, Credit Card, Investment accounts and others (mimicking your real-world accounts) where you will record your business's transactions.
