QuickBooks Account API

Accounts are what businesses use to track transactions. Accounts can track money coming in (income or revenue) and going out (expenses). They can also track the value of things (assets), like vehicles and equipment. There are five basic account types: asset, liability, income, expense, and equity. Accounts are part of the chart of accounts, the unique list of accounts each business puts together to do their accounting. Accountants often call accounts "ledgers". Learn more about accounts and the chart of accounts. The account object is what you'll use to do actions with the end-users accounts. Note: If you need to delete an account, set the Active attribute to false in an object update request. This makes it inactive. The account itself isn't permanently deleted, but is hidden for display purposes. References to inactive objects remain intact.
