This is what I consider to be “The Ultimate Chart of Accounts” that fits most companies starting up, and requires minor tweaks to adapt to the specific company needs VIEW AN EXCEL/GOOGLE SHEET SAMPLE HERE
Full disclaimer: Chart of Accounts are supposed to be customized for each business, this is meant to be a template that could cover 90% of the accounts, and then you will customize the rest as you see fit, this chart of accounts kit comes with about 150 accounts that you could edit/remove as you please.
