How to record investor money

Per the QuickBooks design, you can record your investor's money as other current assets. But I still recommend checking with your accountant on how to handle and track this investment.

Nevertheless, here's how to create your other current assets account:

1. Go to the Lists menu bar.
2. Select Chart of Accounts.
3. Click Account and then choose New.
4. Hit Account Types and then select Other Current Assets.
5. Enter necessary account information.
6. Click Enter Opening Balnce.
7. Enter the amount of the investment money and the date.
8. Hit Save & Close.

This way, you'll be able to record the investment money of your investor.

Here's an article you can read to learn more about your chart of accounts: Understand QuickBooks Chart of Accounts.
