I have one set of expenses which I like to be able to see on a single financial year basis very quickly. So I have Expenses:A:10-11 Expenses:B:10-11 Expenses:A:11-12 Expenses:B:11-12 all the way from 2004 to 2018 I probably can roll them all up at the end of this financial year, as there will be no ongoing use for the quick total view. Then I can just delete each account and transfer to Expenses:A and Expenses:B and remove the read-only flags on those accounts. There are many ways to do things, and you may find other ways of getting your data without closing the books. Again, starting with too much detail in the account tree is easily altered, but not the other way around.
