Frequently Asked Questions
What is a chart of accounts in QuickBooks?
A chart of accounts (COA) is the complete list of financial accounts in your QuickBooks file — categories for revenue, expenses, assets, and liabilities. Every transaction gets assigned to an account. A well-organized COA makes your reports meaningful and your tax prep much easier.
What accounts should I set up in QuickBooks for Stripe payments?
For Stripe users, you need at minimum: a Stripe account (bank-type asset account to track your Stripe balance), a Sales Revenue account, a Stripe Processing Fees expense account, and your main bank account. When Stripe pays out, you record a transfer from Stripe to bank. Our converter maps these automatically.
How do I import a chart of accounts into QuickBooks?
In QuickBooks Online: go to Accounting → Chart of Accounts → Import. Upload the CSV file from this generator. QuickBooks will map the columns automatically. You can also add accounts manually one by one, but importing is faster for setting up a new file.
What's the difference between account types in QuickBooks?
QuickBooks has five main account types: Assets (what you own — bank accounts, receivables), Liabilities (what you owe — loans, credit cards), Equity (owner's stake), Income (revenue), and Expenses (costs). Getting these right is critical because they determine which financial statements accounts appear on.
Should I use sub-accounts in QuickBooks?
Sub-accounts help you track details within a category. For example, an Expenses parent account with sub-accounts for Software, Marketing, and Contractor Payments. This gives you both a detailed view and a rolled-up summary. For Stripe fees specifically, use a sub-account under Bank Service Charges.
