Owners Contributions/Investments and Draws

Hi, @NicoleGomez. I'll help you record start-up deposits. 

You can keep track of personal funds used to pay bills or start a business. This is referred to as a capital investment by accountants. These money are provided by you, your partners, or other owners.

Let me guide you how to record the investment.

Before you can record a capital investment, you need to set up an equity account. Next, record the investment, but if you've connected your bank account, you don’t need to record the it.

You just need to categorize the transactions associated with your deposits.

You can record a deposit into your equity account instead if you haven't imported bank transactions automatically.

Here's how:
 

1. Click on + New then select Bank deposit.
2. From the Account drop-down menu, select the bank account you're depositing the money into.
3. Enter the Date you deposited the money.
4. In the Add funds to this deposit section, enter the name of the investor in the Received from field.
5. Choose the appropriate equity account from the drop-down list in the Account field.
6. Specify a Payment method.
7. Enter the investment amount in the Amount field.
8. Then select Save and close.

Please let me know if you have any other clarification on matching your transactions. I'll be around. You have a great business!
