Go into your company settings and shut off the account number preference

Hello there, @patkelly267@gmai!

 

When account numbers show up in your list of accounts, the settings must have been turned on. We can turn it off so you can remove them as part of your account names.

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Under YOUR COMPANY, select Accounts and Settings.
  3. Select Advanced.
  4. Click Chart of Accounts.
  5. In the Enable account numbers section, remove the checkmark.
  6. Select Save.
  7. Click Done.

In addition, here's an article you can read to learn more about your account numbers and its function: Use account numbers in your chart of accounts.

 

Lastly, I've also included a couple of references below for ideas to help organize your chart of accounts:

Keep me updated in the comments if you have any other questions. I'll be happy to lend a hand.

I want to keep the account numbers.  The problem is that the numbers are also showing up in the account name.

example:

Account Number     Account Name

10010.                         10010 Bank

I only entered bank in the account name, but the account numbers are showing up in numbers and names.  Under edit, you only see Bank in Account Name but it’s visible in both Account Number and Account Name in the Chart of Accounts when I list or print.
