After a successful sign-up / installation of ERPNext, on your first sign-in, you will be shown a form to fill. 
￼
This form will create your first **Company** and **Fiscal Year** (accounting or financial year) record. You can create other Companies later.

This will also set the default **Currency** and time zone for your account. Once your complete this, your first **Company** and **Chart of Accounts** will be created.

Congrats! You are already on your way.

The next step is to configure your Chart of Accounts or start adding users and setting their permissions.
