Equity Account Classes

Each account group in Sage Simply Accounting can be further divided into account classes. All accounts grouped from 3000 to 3999 are equity accounts. Unless your accountant specifies otherwise, use the default account group Equity.

Account Class	Description
Equity	The net worth of a business to its owner. This class encompasses all equity classes and can represent any type of equity.
Cash	Can be used to classify equity, but we do not recommend you use it as an equity.
Bank	Can be used to classify equity, but we do not recommend you use it as an equity.
Credit Card Payable	Can be used to classify equity, but we do not recommend you use it as an equity.
Owner/Partner Contributions	Amounts contributed to the company by an owner or partner.
Owner/Partner Withdrawals	Withdrawals of cash from the company by an owner or partner.
Share Capital	Amount contributed to the company through the sale of stock.
Dividends	Amounts distributed to shareholders. This class is similar to Owner/Partner Withdrawals.
