<p>You can use the Accounts & Bills area to keep track of all your accounts, paychecks, and bills. It's a good idea to set up recurring payments and deposits for loans and other recurring transactions. You might even want to schedule a reminder of a single important transaction, such as the maturity date of a <glossary tNum="286965">Certificate of Deposit (CD)</glossary>.</p>
<p>To make sure you don't forget to check your bills and deposits, you can customize your Money Home page to show a list of upcoming bills and deposits.</p>
<p>From the <emph>Accounts & Bills</emph> menu, you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Set up your accounts (such as checking and savings accounts, retirement accounts, and brokerage accounts), by clicking <emph>Account Setup</emph>.</li>
<li>Review your income and expense categories, by clicking <emph>Categories & Payees</emph>.</li>
<li>Schedule or edit details of recurring transactions, by clicking <emph>Bills & Deposits List</emph>.</li>
<li>Pay a scheduled bill or enter a scheduled deposit, by clicking <emph>Bills & Deposits List</emph>.</li>
<li>Update the details of an upcoming bill or deposit, by clicking <emph>Bills & Deposits List</emph>.</li>
<li>See how account balances will change if you make a scheduled payment or deposit, by clicking <emph>Cash Flow Review</emph>.</li>
<li>Chart how your account balances will change over time, by clicking <emph>Cash Flow Review</emph>.</li>
<li>Review the bills and deposits you've recorded over the last 60 days, by clicking <emph>Bills & Deposits List</emph>, and then clicking <emph>See if a bill was paid</emph> in the left pane.</li>
