I don't see the need for more than one AR account, but it's what my
accountant gave me to start with:

Accounts Receivable
Contracts Receivable
Other Receivable
Allowance for Doubtful accounts

I don't see the point of the distinction of the first three. I have
seperate Income accounts if I want to know where my money comes from. As
I get a better understanding of this I'll probably delete some of the
unused accounts.
