Business acct.

[Paula Hendricks]

so from what you are telling me you want 1 gnucash company file but within that to somehow separate out your particular business info... i do this with several small businesses i participate in. i use gnu cash for all my money (personal, biz 1, biz 2, etc)...

i think there may be some accounts (called categories in other s/w) that you can't eliminate, but you can create any # of accounts yourself... i've done this within income (for example, i have biz1 income, biz2 income, other income)... then in expenses i have a series of expense accounts (much more detailed than income, such as biz1 supplies, biz1 tools, biz2 internet, etc...).... i split out telecom expenses pretty carefully... and i haven't used assets yet for reimbursable expenses, but i'm going to look at that next. 

in my version, there is a "new" button at the top of the screen that will open and you can add a new account and within the "actions" menu item there is also a "new account" choice.

i hope this helps.
