# Kernel Account object reference

When the Kernel Salesforce custom object is enabled, Kernel creates and maintains `Kernel_Account__c` records in Salesforce. Each record links to a Salesforce Account, stores Kernel-enriched values, and supports enrichment, cleaning, and hierarchy workflows without requiring Kernel to overwrite customer-owned Account fields directly.

## Object

| Item               | Value                     |
| ------------------ | ------------------------- |
| Salesforce object  | `Kernel_Account__c`       |
| Display name       | Kernel Account            |
| Account link field | `Linked_Account_Field__c` |
| Kernel identifier  | `Kernel_ID__c`            |

## Field reference

The standard Kernel Account object includes the following fields. Salesforce system fields such as `Id`, `OwnerId`, `CreatedDate`, and `LastModifiedDate` are not included.
