Welcome to GnuCash and this user mail list. If you simply accepted the default account list when you created your first data file you may want to start over , possibly first choosing business accounts with the New Account Hierarchy assistant before you import your first bank statement. Read the account setup section of the Tutorial to help with making that decision.
Also read whatever suggestions others make here. I don't personally use any of the business features, so others may have better suggestions than mine. On Thu, Jul 15, 2021, 1:34 PM Barry G.
