Can you show an example of a partial chart of accounts for a construction project?

Answer 1

There are many different types of construction projects, so there are likely many different charts of accounts.

One recommended by the National Association of Home Builders can be found here: http://www.chsbuildersoftware.com/005-FlashMovies/00-25-Accounting/Chart%20of%20Accounts%20Setup.pdf.

Here's one for larger projects from the Louisiana State Government:  http://www.lla.state.la.us/userfiles/file/chart.pdf.

Google "chart of accounts for construction" and you can find many more free and for pay charts of accounts and instructions on how to set them up in various accounting packages.
