# Budget - Accounts

List all the budget accounts with children (i.e. Expanded Accounts)


## List budget accounts

 - [GET /projects/{projectId}/budget/accounts](https://docs.saturation.io/openapi/budget-accounts/listbudgetaccounts.md): Get a list of all budget accounts in your project, organized from top to bottom.

Returns every account that appears as its own section in your budget. Each account 
is a budget category (like "Camera Department" or "Post-Production") that contains 
its own line items and subtotals.

Perfect for:
- Building dropdown menus to select accounts
- Showing where you are in the budget (like breadcrumbs: Production > Camera > Equipment)
- Getting all account names and codes without loading the entire budget
- Understanding your budget's organization

The accounts come back in a natural reading order—parent accounts first, then their 
children. For example: [/1000 Production, /1000/1100 Camera, /1000/1200 Sound, /2000 Post]

Each account includes a path showing its location in your budget structure. For instance, 
"/2000/2100" means account 2100 sits inside account 2000.
