Simply Accounting uses the following account types to format 
your financial statements.  

Section 
Heading 

Divides the financial statement into 
sections (Assets, Liabilities, Equity, 
Revenue, and Expense). 

The program assigns the section 
name; you cannot change it. 
Accounts within a section are further 
classified into groups. 

Group 
Heading 

Classifies groups of accounts within a 
section. 

Introduces two or more group or 
subgroup accounts.  

Subgroup   Stores amounts processed in the 

transaction windows. Balances are 
shown in the left column of the 
financial statement. 

Used for accounts whose balances 
will be subtotalled, rather than 
included directly in the group total. 
Subgroup accounts must be followed 
by a group total before the next 
heading. 

Group  

Stores amounts processed in the 
transaction windows. Balances are 
shown in the right (total) column of 
the financial statement. 

Used for amounts included directly 
in the group total. 

Subgroup 
Total  

Contains the subtotal of all the 
consecutive subgroup accounts above 
it. The program displays the amount 
in the right column of the financial 
statement. 

Must follow a subgroup account. 
The balance is included in the group 
total. 

Current 
Earnings 

Shows the difference between 
revenue and expense account totals. 
The program calculates the balance 
every time you make an entry that 
affects a revenue or expense account, 
and displays it in the Equity section 
of the balance sheet.  

You cannot process transactions to 
this account.
