Marty,
My belief in setting up a sound GL account structure is to "Begin
with the end in mind". You need to ask your self and the users of
financial information, what kind of reports would they like to see.
Have them actually show you examples on an excel worksheet. Then
you'll know how to set up the GL accounts to 'easily' generate the
requested reports.
One other consideration is being able to generate reports for various
tax filings.
