subaccount

Account within account

A subaccount is an account nested within a larger account, used to track specific categories or allocations separately while remaining part of the parent structure.

In accounting, subaccounts break down general ledger categories: We created subaccounts for each department's expenses.

Financial platforms use subaccounts to partition funds or permissions among users within a master account.
