Personal Account/Business Expense

Hello,

Our CPA categorized some business expenses that were paid from the owners personal account to the business bank account for 2022. 
When I go to reconcile the business bank account is shows extra expenses. 

Can you walk me through on how to get this balanced properly?

Do I  need a JE 

 

The company is a single member LLC.

Yes, you're correct. You'll need to create a journal entry (JE) to correct these additional expenses. Let me walk you through the process.

 

  1. Select + New.
  2. Select Journal Entry.
  3. On the first line, select the expense account for the purchase.
  4. Enter the purchase amount in the Debits column.
  5. Select Partner's equity or Owner's equity on the second line
  6. Enter the purchase amount in the Credits column.
  7. Select Save and Close.

 

Please consult your accounting professional regarding choosing the correct accounts affected for debit and credit. You can further check this article if you need to reimburse the funds: Pay for business expenses with personal funds.
