Working with the Chart of Accounts
Peachtree Accounting comes with over 75 sample charts of accounts already
set up that you can choose from to customize or copy into your own chart of
accounts. You can create your own chart of accounts from scratch. However,
we recommend you use one of the chart of accounts from the sample
companies as a template—keeping the basic structure but editing and adding
individual accounts to suit your needs. You can copy the sample chart of
accounts when setting up your company during New Company Setup.
