Follow this guide to access the Accounting Classes screen and create, edit, clone, and manage accounting class records within the platform.
1. Overview: Understanding Accounting Classes
- Accounting Classes are used to segment financial data.
- Instead of only viewing total revenue or total expenses, firms can break down performance across different parts of the business.
- For example, a firm might segment by:
- Location — New York vs New Jersey
- Service Type — Litigation vs Advisory
- Business Unit
- You can define up to four different class types, where each represents a dimension of the business.
- Each class acts as a tag that can be applied to transactions such as:
- Bills
- Payments
- Expenses
- This allows for:
- More detailed reporting
- Better financial visibility
- Clear performance tracking across segments
