Accounting
Chart of Accounts
Quick definition
The structured list of categories all transactions are booked to.
A chart of accounts (COA) is the master list of all accounts in your general ledger, organized by type (asset, liability, equity, revenue, expense). A startup-appropriate COA is granular enough for analysis but simple enough to maintain.
