By talking to your users. Whenever you are required to develop a software system, you really should start off by listening to your users and gathering requirements from them. If you ignore your users, you might as well stuff live porcupines down your trousers - it will feel roughly the same.

I second listening/communicating with the client to get the client requirements and build what they need, and not what one thinks they need.

Actually, banks credit money to your account because your deposits end up on the Liability side of their ledgers (i.e. it's not their asset). He has it right.
WE ARE DYSLEXIC OF BORG. Refutance is systile. Your a$$ will be laminated. There are 10 kinds of people in the world: People who know binary and people who don't.
I know that - but most users (and companies) will be sitting on the other side of the teller's window.

Maybe just a wee hedgehog instead? :)

After watching a National Geo special on flesh eating fish of the amazon yesterday, maybe a little catfish will do.

With the first one. Then you copy and paste to make the second.

Listen to what John C told you, if you have a choice never ever start this, you will need to support this application forever. Make an export to existing account system. I have quite a lot of experience with creating enterprise software and I know that even the big software companies avoid doing this. And what is your background in the accounting? Because if you don’t have any, even if you/your company hire a professional accountant to consult you the project probably will be a disaster anyway. Edit: Oh, I forgot; a new-baked homemade accounting system is very likely to put your client into legal problems.
