Chart of Accounts

We are a non-profit (a church specifically).  Our new administrators are making a big overhaul to our Chart of Accounts:  Adding new accounts (parent and child), changing parent accounts of existing sub-accounts,  and reordering the stucture of the g/l and how it flows into the income statements.

 

What are the ramifications of making these changes?  How will the changes affect historical data?

 

Any tips for making the changes/additions easier or things to be aware of?

 

NOTE:  In the past, the books have never been closed at the end of any calendar year.  I have just followed that practice after coming on board as Financial Director.  Should I close the books as of 12/31/2022?

I'd like to assist you in organizing your books in QuickBooks Online by providing some insights, @Ruff21040.

 

I know this hasn't been an easy process for you. As much as I'd love to help you achieve your goal, this requires professional assistance since those changes and additions were a significant overhaul to your accounts. Thus, it may cause a disorder in transactions.

 

It would be best to seek professional advice from your accountant regarding your concerns about making some changes and closing your books to ensure the accuracy of your accounts. If you're not affiliated with one, you can utilize our Find an Accountant tool to look for one in your area.

 

Keep me posted if you still have questions or concerns about your transactions in QBO. I'll be around for you. Have a great day.

Thank you very much for getting back to me on this.  I'll take your advice and contact one of the CPA's that we work with.

 

Have a blessed day,
