Accounts template

We have put together two accounts templates to help you manage your finances.

These templates are designed be simple but clear and are appropriate for groups using receipt and payment accounts. If you are using accrual accounting you may need to think about more complex and detailed accounting records. 

Both templates are intended as a starting point as to how you can manage your accounts. You are welcome to make changes to suit your needs. Each template has an introduction page with some explanation of how the template works.
