Hi Jen_D,
I hope you can help me also! I posted the below question before finding your answer here. My client's Chart of Accounts is a mess. Do you suggest deleting and starting over? Below is my original question...thank you so much!
Hi,
I have my first client and I'm feeling overwhelmed. It's a school and they classified all of their transactions as Owner's Equity. My suggestion to them (I think) would be to have me reclassify each transaction properly, as an expense, income, etc.

Thank you!
Mena
