That's technically not account, that's document management.

I found very quickly that it's a bad idea to use accounts for
documents. A better idea is to use a metadata tag with document ID or
state (ie: paid). That allows you to use the new validation methods to
lock down your list of accounts so typos don't unbalance your books.

Thanks.
