Add accounts

Although Flare's chart of account groups and accounts are probably sufficient, you may want to add your own account groups and accounts.

Terminology

Account Group: a broad category such as "Cash & Bank".

Account: an account within a group, such as "Checking" within the group "Cash & Bank" to which transactions are recorded.

To add accounts, do the following:

3. Enter an account number, and account name (5 below). Make sure the Active checkbox is checked.
   
   
   
   
4. Click Save (7 above).
   
   Once the account has been added, you'll see it within the account group you chose:
