To create a new Account, click the New Account toolbar button, click the plus button under the Accounts list, or select File Menu > New Account. You can edit the opening date, opening balance, and account type only when initially creating the account. If you select the account to be a sub-account of another similar account, Accounted will automatically assign the same Association as the parent account.

Accounts can also be imported from the following places:
- IIF Files (Quickbooks Import Files)
- Delimited Text (CSV, standard text files)
- Studiometry (from Debt/Credit types)

More information on importing is available in the Importing section of the Accounted help files.
