About QB Community

I appreciate the detailed information you've shared, @Jadallah.

I've got your back in setting up accounts to your chart of accounts so you can get started with QuickBooks Online (QBO). Let me guide you in creating your G&A Expense account.

First off, let's turn on the Account Numbers feature so you can associate a number to your G&A expense account. Here's how:

1. Click the Gear icon, then select Account and Settings.
2. Go to the Advanced menu.
3. In the Chart of Accounts section, put a checkmark in the Enable account numbers and Show account numbers checkboxes.
4. Select Save and then Done.

Once done, you can now create your G&A expense accounts.

1. In your QBO account, click Accounting from the left menu and select Chart of Accounts.
2. Click the New button.
3. In the Account Type drop-down, select Expenses or Other Expense.
4. Select the Detail Type from the drop-down.
5. Enter the name of the expense, then indicate the number of the expense account.
6. Click Save and Close.

Once done, please repeat the steps to create your other G&A expense account.

I'm adding this article for more details: Use account numbers in your chart of accounts.

Just in case you want to know about the details types in the chart of accounts, feel free to check out this article: Use detail types for your chart of accounts in QuickBooks Online.

Please know that you can visit our Community forums again if you have other questions with QBO. I'm always here to help. Have a wonderful day and take care always!
