Question

As you might imagine, the chart of accounts for a manufacturing firm would be different from that of a service firm. Not surprisingly, service firms differ so much that software now exits for almost any type of firm that you could name. Think of yourself as an entrepreneur who is going to start up your own business. Now, go to an Office Depot, Staples, or similar office supply store (or search online) to find at least two different software packages that you might use for the type of firm you are going to start up.

1. What does the chart of accounts include?
