# Chart of Accounts

### Navigating the Chart of Accounts

View and manage all general ledger accounts across entities by navigating to **Accounting →** [**Chart of Accounts**](https://use.kick.co/chart-of-accounts) in your client's workspace. 

Accounts are organized by type and subtype. Use the **Expand/Collapse All** button in the top right to show or hide all account rows at once.

The rightmost column shows which entities each account belongs to, so you can see at a glance which accounts are shared across entities and which are scoped to a single one. To narrow the view to a specific entity, use the **Entity** filter in the top right.

To export the full Chart of Accounts, click the **Download** icon in the top right and choose CSV or Excel.

#### Filters

Use the filters in the top left to narrow the view:

* **Status** — Active or Disabled
* **Source** — Kick-created or Custom
* **Type** — Account types such as Cash, Equity, Income, or Operating Expenses
* **Subtype** — Account subtypes such as Bank Account, Contributions, Refunds & Returns, or Insurance

### Standard accounts

Every entity in Kick comes with a standard Chart of Accounts built to map to that entity type's tax form — simplifying reporting for both you and your clients. The standard accounts vary by entity type. For example, a partnership includes accounts like Guaranteed Payments, while a single-member LLC would not.

The Chart of Accounts is fully customizable. You can add, edit, import, and disable accounts to match your client's reporting needs or accommodate industries where the standard set doesn't cover everything required.

{% hint style="info" %}
Standard accounts cannot be deleted, but they can be disabled. Disabled accounts are hidden from the GL account picker and journal entry editor while preserving all historical data.

### Account numbers

Kick's standard Chart of Accounts includes six-digit account numbers, assigned automatically based on account type:

| Account type   | Starting digit |
| -------------- | -------------- |
| Assets         | 1              |
| Liabilities    | 2              |
| Equity         | 3              |
| Income         | 4              |
| Expenses       | 5, 6, 7, 9     |
| Other Income   | 8              |
| Other Expenses | 8              |

Account numbers can be edited on any account. To hide them entirely, go to **Accounting Settings** and toggle off **Show Account Numbers**. This removes account numbers from the Chart of Accounts and all reports across Kick.
