I can show you how to record your business expenses using your personal bank, LeighAnn.

 

When you reimburse a personal expense, you can record it as a cheque or an expense. First, you'll have to record the business expense you paid for with personal funds using a journal entry. I'll show you:

 

  1. Select + New and click Journal entry.
  2. On the first line, select the expense account and amount on the Debit side for the purchase.
  3. On the second line, select Partner's equity or Owner's equity and the amount on the Credit column.
  4. Select Save and close.

Then, you can follow the steps in this article for more details if you choose to record the personal expense through a cheque or expense

 

'm also adding some links for future reference:
