LIMITED TIME 90% OFF QuickBooks for 3 months*
Buy nowWe always pay our credit card off each month and I know this is not the right way to do this but I enter the credit card as a bill when I get the statement and expense all the charges accordingly. Then pay the bill from the pay bill feature. One month we had a large charge on our business card that caused us to go over our credit limit. This large charge was actually for 2 pieces of equipment one for the this company and one for another company we own. When the card went over the limit I transferred the payment amount online from the other company to pay down the credit card for this piece of equipment. How do I account for this in Quickbooks when the payment was from a checking account not listed in this company but our other one?

This process ensures your financial records are both accurate and compliant.
