subaccounts
Accounts within accounts
Subaccounts are accounts nested within a larger parent account, typically for organizational or tracking purposes.
In banking, a main account might have subaccounts for different savings goals.
In business software, subaccounts break down general ledger categories: The marketing budget has subaccounts for advertising, events, and social media.
The structure allows detailed tracking while maintaining a unified whole.
