Adding additional accounts to the Chart of Accounts (CoA) accounts is a great way to establish additional categories for tracking transactions and financial activity within FINSYNC.

Note: Please contact your FINSYNC profile owner if you do not currently have access to make changes to the Chart of Accounts. The permission settings for your account will need to be updated to setting to allow All Accounts within Banking.
