Chart of Accounts

Hi! Good morning, Can anyone help me out here? The owner transfers money from company checking account into company money market account, how do I categorize this in QB? What do I label the chart of account? Just want to make sure I am labeling everything correctly.

 

Thank you in advance!

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community, NU-LTGx.

 

I'm here to help record a funds transfer from one account to another in QuickBooks Online.

 

Please make sure both accounts show in your Chart of Accounts to record the transfer. There are four ways to track a bank transfer between two accounts.

 

Here's the list:

  • Transfer
  • Check
  • Imported Bank Transaction
  • Journal Entry

 

The detailed steps are outlined in the article below depending on the method you use:

 

Handle a bank transfer

 

The steps above will help you with what you need. If you have any questions concerning the bank transfer, please let me know.

@NU-LTGx, is this a regular things your client intends on doing? There might be a good process to put in place to make it most efficient.

@NU-LTGx,

 

Sounds good. One thing I can say about the Chart of Accounts is that it's flexible. There are some standard accounts you must have, but you can structure and tailor it to your client's specific needs. As they learn more about what they need, you can continue to refine the process by adding new accounts, subaccounts, and shuffling around existing workflows.

The owner transfers money from company checking account into company money market account, how do I categorize these transactions in QB? What do I label the chart of account? I will be writing a check and depositing but not sure what account/category to use in Quickbooks.
