# Creating Custom Chart of Accounts
> Add and manage custom accounts on top of Ezyiah's system chart of accounts
Ezyiah ships with an extensive Australian chart of accounts covering the accounts most firms need. When a client needs something beyond that, you can add a custom account and apply it to one client or all of them.
The Accounts List has three tabs: **All Accounts**, **System Accounts**, and **Custom Accounts**. System accounts are built in and can't be edited or deleted. Custom accounts are the ones your firm creates, and they're the only ones you can edit or remove.
## Creating a custom account
Click **Accounts List** in the sidebar, then click **Add New COA** in the top right corner.
In **Select Client Type**, search for and select the clients this account should apply to. Tick **Select All** to apply it across every client, or tick individual clients to limit it to them.
Enter an **Account Name**, for example "Purchase", and an **Account Code**. Custom account codes must be higher than 1000, keeping them clear of the system account range.
Choose **Income** or **Expense** from the **Account Type** dropdown. If you choose Expense, an **Expense Type** field appears, where you choose **OPEX** or **COGS** depending on whether the expense is an operating cost or a cost of goods sold.
Choose **GST** or **GST Free** from the **GST Treatment** dropdown. This determines how transactions coded to this account are treated on the client's BAS.
Enter a short **Description** explaining what the account is for, for example "Groceries". This helps your team code transactions to it consistently. Click **Save**.
The new account appears under **Custom Accounts**, and also in **All Accounts** alongside the system accounts.
## Editing or removing a custom account
From the **Custom Accounts** tab, tick the checkbox next to an account to bring up the action bar at the bottom of the screen: **Edit**, **Manage Clients**, and **Delete**.
* **Edit** opens the same Account Details form used to create it, so you can update the name, code, type, GST treatment, or description.
* **Manage Clients** lets you change which clients the account applies to.
* **Delete** permanently removes the account.
Only custom accounts can be edited or deleted this way. System accounts don't have an action bar, since their setup is fixed across every client.
