The master list of every financial account your organization uses - the foundation all your other Finance reports are built on.
The Chart of Accounts is the structure behind all your accounting - every account used to record money coming in, going out, or being owed, organized into clear categories. Reports like Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet are built directly from how your accounts are set up here.
Overview
At the top of the page, you'll see:
Total Assets - total value of everything the organization owns
Total Liabilities - total amount the organization owes
Net Profit / (Loss) - the organization's current profit or loss position
Equity - total equity or capital recorded
Account categories
Every account falls into one of five categories:
Assets - things the organization owns: bank balances, cash, receivables, and other resources
Liabilities - amounts the organization owes or is obligated to pay
Equity / Capital - the owner's or shareholders' capital and related accounts
Income - accounts used to record revenue and other income
Expenses - accounts used to record business and operational costs

How to add a new account
Click + Add Account.
Enter the Account Code (e.g., 1001) and Account Name (e.g., "Cash").
Select the Account Nature - Asset, Liability, Equity, Income, or Expense.
Select the Account Type - this auto-fills sensible defaults based on the Account Nature you picked.
Confirm the Normal Balance (Debit or Credit) and Financial Statement (e.g., Balance Sheet) - these are also auto-populated, but can be adjusted if needed.
(Optional) Enter a Tally Group and Tally Ledger Name, if you export your accounts to Tally and want a specific name to appear there.
Enter an Opening Balance, if applicable, and confirm the Currency (defaults to INR).
Add a Description, if useful.
Click Add Account.
Seed defaults
Use Seed Defaults to populate your Chart of Accounts with a standard, predefined set of accounts - a fast way to get started instead of building your account structure entirely from scratch. It only adds accounts that don't already exist, so it won't create duplicates of accounts you've already set up.
