[Chart of Accounts](https://developers.getcount.com/reference/chart-of-accounts) / Bulk create accounts

# Bulk create accounts

POST `/partners/chart-of-accounts/bulk`

Creates up to 100 chart-of-accounts entries in one request with partial-success semantics.

Each row uses the same shape as Create account. Rows are processed independently — one failure does not roll back others. Returns the bulk batch shape documented in Response shapes (HTTP 201). Recommended batch size ~25 for migrations. Complete the chart of accounts before importing bills or transactions.

HMAC signature + Bearer access token
