# Adding an Account

This lesson will show you how to add an account to AgileCase and will explain the functionality of accounts within the system.

### Accessing accounts

You can access the accounts page by clicking the "Accounts" button on the main toolbar. The accounts page allows you to store your business accounts in order to process payment through the billing system.

To add a new account, click the "New account" button in the upper right corner of the page.

You will now be presented with a form of account details to fill out. You can choose whether the account is a trust account or an operational account depending on its purpose.

You can then fill out the account details and enter the currency used and balance in the account.

### Save your account

Once you have finished entering your account details, click "Save Changes" to add the account to the system.

You can also select the account to act as your default account which will have it selected as default when you go to process a bill payment.

### Using Accounts

Accounts are used in conjunction with the billing system to process payments. Once an invoice is generated, you can receive payment through any of your accounts on the system.

Receiving payment will update the account balance, allowing you to keep track of payments received and ensure that all of your invoices are paid on time.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.agilecase.com/user-documentation/accounts-and-bills/adding-an-account.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
