What is a nominal account?
< 1 min read
Nominal accounts are used to keep track of financial transactions over a set period of time, usually a year.
They begin with a zero balance and are closed at the end of each accounting year. This makes it easy to see the financial transactions for just that period.
They’re different from the balance sheet as they are considered only ‘temporary accounts’.
