Back to the track — Financial Accountant
The chart of accounts: where every figure lands
The chart decides what your statements can say, and any dimension not separated at recording is never separated afterwards. There are five classes, and an account's number states its class before its name does. Three questions suffice: what it is, whether it survives year end, and which line its reader expects it on. The account says "what" and the dimension says "where and for whom" — confusing the two is the costliest design error. An item earns an account when a decision depends on the split, not when the name reads better. A new account is requested and approved and never opened retrospectively, and an old one is blocked from posting rather than deleted.
