Let me share some information about the Chart of Accounts list available on your QuickBooks Online (QBO) region, donna1671.

The link you've provided is in the QBO Canada version. The Chart of Accounts is a list of all the accounts that QuickBooks uses to track your financial information. For the QBO International version, you can check out this article on the list of account types available in your region: Learn about the chart of accounts in QuickBooks Online.

Also, there are two user views: Business view and Accountant view. You can switch between them anytime and changing views doesn't affect your accounts or data. We can switch it to the Accountant view to have complete control of your Chart of Accounts. Please know that each view has different features, menus, and button names. Here’s how:

Go to the Gear icon.
Select Switch to Accountant view.

By doing this, you’ll have more options to change the information about your accounting data. From there, you can edit the account type.

You can also refer to this article to learn more about each view: Switch between Business and Accountant view in QuickBooks Online.

Feel free to read through this guide that will assist you with matching your QuickBooks accounts and bank statements: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.

If you have any other account-type concerns, just reply to this post. I'd be more than willing to provide additional assistance. Have a good one.
