Hi there, JessicaStratton.
I appreciate the detailed information. It could be that your client is recording a reimbursement expense billable to a customer. I'm here to provide further explanation.
There are three ways you can record a reimbursement expense in QuickBooks Desktop. The most common method is recording an expense billable to a customer. Once added, the system creates the reimbursement as an expense and transfers it to the sales revenue account when invoicing the customer.
Let's create a test bill by following these steps:
- Go to Vendors and choose Enter Bills.
- Choose a vendor.
- In the Expenses section, select multiple accounts. Enter the amount and a memo.
- Select a customer and mark the Billable column.
- Click on Save & Close.
Then, create an invoice to the billable customer:
- Go to Customers and select Create Invoices.
- Select the billable customer.
- Choose the Select the outstanding billable time and costs to add to this invoice radio button and click on OK.
- Click on the Expenses tab, mark all transactions, and click on OK.
The invoice will show you a Reimb Group item.

This should point you in the right direction. Leave a comment below if you have further questions. I'll get them answered.
