Like a contra account, which you've already suggested, though I don't
think the OP) responded to your suggestion.

Seems to me giving each meeting three accounts, all of type Income,
would let them do everything they want, right in GC:

1. Placeholder account, 2026-03-Net Income
2. First child account, 2026-03-Revenues
3. Second child account, 2026-03-Expenses

As you noted, the second child account would normally have a negative
balance, so that the placeholder would show the correct net income.
