Setting up a not for profit chart of accounts and need clarification on how the sub-account setup works? Thank you

Hi there, 

In QuickBooks Online, you can create sub-accounts to break down your expenses, income, and more into greater detail. For example, you can divide your utilities account into sub-accounts, so you can track different types of utility payments, like gas, telephone, water, and so on. 

You can create sub-accounts of any main (or “parent”) account.  Use them to keep your chart of accounts organized and make more detailed report. 

Here's a helpful article that explains how you can add a sub-account: Create sub-accounts in your chart of accounts in QuickBooks Online.

This article should provide all the information you need. If you still need a hand in order to get back on track, please reach out to our tech support team.
