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
