I'm happy to help, usermarrettalatimer. 

 

You can set up a retainer process for your company in QuickBooks Online. This will be treated as a liability to show that, although your business is holding the money from a deposit or retainer, it doesn't belong to you until it's used to pay for services. First, you need to create a liability account to track the amount of the retainers you receive from your customers. Second, create a retainer item. The retainer item can now be selected when creating an invoice or sales receipt for a deposit or retainer payment. 

 

Once done, let's now create a trust liability bank account.

  1. Go to Settings, then select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Click New and select Other Current liabilities from the Account Type drop-down.
  3. From the Detail Type drop-down menu, select Trust Accounts- Liabilities.
  4. Enter a Name for the account.
  5. Choose an option from the When do you want to start tracking your finances from this account in QuickBooks? drop-down list.
  6. Select a Default Tax Code and enter an Unpaid balance and as of date.
  7. Click Save and close.

After that, create a deposit to record a single payment. Other detailed steps are also provided in these article: Record a retainer or deposit.

 

If you have any other questions, feel free to post here at any time. Thank you and have a lovely evening.

I have a simillar issue.  We are a nonprofit using QB Enterprise looking for a simpler way to collect, track and reconcile member dues to each member's account and our bank.  We have over 7,000 members.  How do we do this within QB and/or suggested partner apps that may help such as bill.com's AR and SalesForce with our need.

 

Thank you

Is there a nonprofit specific user community where we can share information and ideas?  If so, how can I connect?

My non-profit group also has members that pay dues.  We're in the process of implementing SalesForce and want to switch to QBO also.  Is there someone that I can talk with about how to complete these implementations effectively?

I'm here to ensure Salesforce is seamlessly integrated with QuickBooks, Christy_H.

 

Salesforce is one of the supported third-party applications in QuickBooks Online (QBO). With this, you can easily connect the program to QBO by going to the Apps menu. Before proceeding, make sure that you already have a QBO account. 

 

Here's the complete process:

  1. Create your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Once done setting up, go to the Apps menu.
  3. Type in Salesforce in the search field.
  4. From there, you can choose an app.
  5. Click it to open, then choose Get app now.

 

Additionally, I've included these articles that'll help you ready your books to start recording transactions:

@Christy_H 

Are you using another accounting software? Will you migrate the data to QB Online later and setup the blank account from scratch? Make sure to have some trial runs with your new apps (i.e Salesforce and QBO). If one connector is not reliable, you have to try with another connector.
