jelknerMadi and Molly are working on that too19:22
jelknerthen we can compare19:22
jelknerhere's what i know so far:19:22
jelkner1. The top level accounts won't change19:22
jelknerAssests + Expenses = Liabilities + Equity + Income19:23
jelkneris that right?19:23
dcammue+119:23
dcammueMeaning you put all debit accounts aside and credit aside19:24
jelkner+119:24
dcammueGot you19:24
dcammueThat's all you know off?19:25
dcammueAnyway, my greeting to Madi and Molly19:26
dcammueAnd my pleasure meeting them19:28
jelknersorry dcammue 19:39
jelkneri got distracted again talking to Molly and Madi19:39
jelkneri showed them the Jetro website19:39

jelknerand wanted to know more about you19:40
jelknerso i showed them your picture on the Jetro site19:40

jelknerok, i won't keep you any longer19:42
jelknerare you still here, dcammue?19:42
dcammue+119:42
jelknerso the big challenge dcammue is figuring out the chart of accounts for SECOSOL19:44
jelknernonprofits don't have sales19:44
jelknerthey have grants19:44
jelknerand fundraising19:45
jelknerwe didn't do any fundraising last year19:45
jelknerso all our income is grants19:45
dcammueWe are not going to put sales accounts. Nonprofits is a service organization19:46
jelkner+119:46
jelknerwe have been starting with the 5 top level accounts19:46
dcammueNot buy and sell company19:46
jelknerexactly19:46
dcammuePerfect19:46
jelknerour approach is to only add new sub accounts when a transaction requires it19:47
jelknerso we'll start with only the 5 top level accounts19:47
dcammueYes19:47
dcammueBut assets, exspense, revenue, and equity will have some sub account for now19:49
jelknerwe are here talking about how to start19:50
jelkneri sent dec 202419:50
jelknerbut we don't really need it19:50
dcammueAssets---current assets----both saving and checking accounts19:50
jelknerwe need to set up the beginning balance sheet jan 1, 202519:50
jelknerNice!19:51
dcammueYes, you can not start with 2024 dec19:51
jelknerbut what balances those two accounts?19:51
jelknerwhat is the name of the equity account that balances the assets?19:51
dcammueJust vring the balances from dec 2024 forward to jan 2025 as opening balances19:52
dcammueOpening balance19:52
dcammueUnder top-level account equity19:52
jelkneri still have to wrap my head around "opening balance" as an account name19:54
dcammueAnd if time goes by, jeff has made any investment, and we can add an investment account19:54
jelknerinteresting19:55
jelknerSECOSOL could give low interest loans to help start co-ops19:56
jelknerwould that be an investment?19:56
jelknertime to go dcammue 19:57
jelknertalk soon19:57
jelknerACTION signs off19:57
