Account Groups organize your funds into categories for reporting and management. There are two main types of account groups: Asset accounts and Fund accounts.

Asset accounts are your cash and cash-equivalent accounts — the money held at third-party financial institutions (banks). These typically use the numbering range 0–99 and have the same type of range across all districts.

Asset accounts include:

Fund accounts organize money by purpose. Each fund account group has its own numbering range. Examples of common groups include:

| Group | Typical range | Examples |

| Athletics | 1000–1999 | Football, Basketball, Baseball, Volleyball, Softball |

| Music | 3000–3999 | Band, Choir, Drill Team |

| Classes | — | Class of 2026, Class of 2025 |

| Clubs | — | Math Club, French Club, Spanish Club |

| Departments | — | General Fund, Arts & Science |

| Trust | — | Coins for Change, trust funds |

| General | — | General operating fund |

| Fraud | — | (Should always be empty — monitored for irregularities) |

| Suspense | — | Money in transit between funds |

The first digit of a fund account number indicates its group. For example:

All fund account balances roll up against an asset account (your bank account). When you post a transaction, the fund account records what the money is for, and the bank account records where the money lives. At reconciliation time, you match your fund totals to your bank account balance — like reconciling your checkbook against the cash you have at home.

Many reports are organized by account group. When you run a report, funds are displayed grouped under their parent category (Athletics, Music, Classes, etc.), making it easy to see totals by purpose.
