Adding Account Lookups to Financial Objects

In order to map financial objects to the Ledger, they must have an Account lookup field. This is because the Payee/Payor field on the Transaction object relies on the account field to populate in the Ledger. Some objects already have an Account lookup; however, the ones which do not can have a lookup added to them.
