Default Prepending numbers

How do I prepend or add a number to the beginning of a series of numbers?
For instance, I have a 4 digit number, 1001, that I want to be 11001. This
is the beginning number in a chart of accounts that is 500 numbers long.
Using Format Cells to make it appear as a 5 digit number doesn't work,
because I need to upload the data into an accounting software program. I
have figured out a work-a-round by adding 10000 to 1001, copy, paste value,
repeat as necessary, but it seems like a lot of extra work to achieve
something that could be simplier.
