## Response

`200` Success

Under `data`, an array of chartsOfAccountsRow:

| Field | Type | Required | Filter | Sort | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | string | no | Exact (`eq`, `ne`), Range (`gt`, `gte`, `lt`, `lte`, `between`), Any of (`in`, `notIn`), Pattern (`like`) | yes | The unique identifier for the chart of accounts. |
| `name` | string | no | no | yes | The display name of the chart of accounts. |
| `accountNumbering` | string | no | Exact (`eq`, `ne`), Range (`gt`, `gte`, `lt`, `lte`, `between`), Any of (`in`, `notIn`), Pattern (`like`) | yes | How account numbers are assigned within this chart of accounts. Possible values: 'hierarchical' (numbers follow the account's position in the hierarchy), 'manual' (numbers are assigned by hand). |
| `accountNumberingDigits` | string \| null | no | Exact (`eq`, `ne`), Range (`gt`, `gte`, `lt`, `lte`, `between`), Any of (`in`, `notIn`), Pattern (`like`) | yes | The total width of an account number, which caps how deep the hierarchy can go. Possible values: 'sixDigits' (up to 4 levels), 'sevenDigits' (5), 'eightDigits' (6), 'nineDigits' (7), 'tenDigits' (8). Absent when no width was set. A width and the numbering strategy are independent, so check this field directly rather than inferring it from accountNumbering. |
| `description` | string \| null | no | no | no | A free-form description of the chart of accounts. Absent when none was set. |
| `lastModifiedDate` | date-time \| null | no | Exact (`eq`, `ne`), Range (`gt`, `gte`, `lt`, `lte`, `between`), Any of (`in`, `notIn`) | yes | The date and time the chart-of-accounts record last changed, in UTC. Format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ. |
