Summary
Accounts typically represent customers or partners. Accounts contain contacts, packages, invoices and other account/billing specific settings and information. In this example we will create an account that we will then add sub accounts to in a later guide.
This article will walk you through creating a basic account with a billing contact.
For additional details on the fields presented on the new account screen see the Adding an Account screen help article.
