enter the bill as you would any other time

 

there are several ways to pay with personal funds, assuming your are taxed as a sole proprietor or partnership, I prefer

 

create a cash type bank account called owners

pay the bill using that owners bank account

then make a deposit in the owners bank account for that same amount and use the owner equity investment account as the source account for the deposit

Owner/shareholder paid for a bill with his personal credit card. Now I need to reimburse him but the payment was for a bill on a PO. How do I pay the bill and reimburse him to close out the PO? Yes, I've already told him NOT TO DO THIS!

Thank you!

Thanks for joining this thread, stheobald.

 

When reimbursing a personal expense, you can record it in your books as a check or expense. The first step is to enter the expense as a journal entry.

 

Here's how:

  1. In the top menu bar, go to Company, then Make General Journal Entries.
  2. Enter any necessary details.
  3. Select Save & Close.

 

Next, you can record your reimbursement as a check or expense.

 

I've also included a detailed resource about working with expenses which may come in handy moving forward: How to Record Expenses Paid by an Owner’s Personal Funds

 

If there's any additional questions, I'm just a post away. Have a lovely day!

To make the deposit to the "owner" account, should I make a journal entry? If not, or there is a better way, please explain.
