How do i add a regular payment such as insurance and van finance ??

Welcome to the Community space, @y1dcarpentry.

You can easily add your vehicle insurance payment and van finance from the Transactions menu. Here’s how to do it in your QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) account:

1. Go to the Transactions menu.
2. Select Add transactions.
3. Click the Select a category link under the Category column.
4. Select Vehicle from the list of Top categories and click Vehicle insurance (do the same thing for Van finance).
5. Enter the details of the transaction and click Save when done.

Once everything looks good, you can now categorise your transactions to easily track them in your account. You can read through this article that can guide you through the detailed steps: Categorise transactions in QuickBooks Self-Employed.
