Chart Of Accounts

Chart of Accounts Overview

The Chart of Accounts in RunHOA is a systematic arrangement of ledger accounts that provides a complete listing of every account in an accounting system, categorized by their respective account type. It serves as the foundation for an HOA’s financial record-keeping system, enabling the categorization of all transactions into meaningful financial information.
