File locations 
 
In Accountant’s Assistant, choose Setup / File Locations.  
Use the File Locations dialog to specify the default locations for the 
program to place files or look for files when performing functions such 
as generating the accountant’s transfer file, retrieving client data, or 
retrieving Master License files. If your firm maintains a website, you can 
also specify the address of your website (the URL) in this dialog.  
 
If you enter a website address in the Accountant’s web page field, your 
client’s CBS program will include an Accountant’s Web Page 
command on the Help menu. When the client chooses that command, the 
program will open your website in the client’s web browser.

Account groups 
If you license your client for the CBS Financial Statements module, you 
must set up the applicable account groups for your clients. The account 
groups listed in the Setup / Account Groups dialog in Accountant’s 
Assistant include only those used by CBS financial statements. This list 
is a subset of account groups listed in CSA. Only the account groups 
included in Accountant’s Assistant will transfer to the client, so it is 
important that you review these GL account assignments before 
generating the accountant’s transfer file. 
Any changes made to account groups within Accountant’s Assistant will 
also be reflected in the other Account Group dialogs within CSA.
