Welcome to the Community, @mpierce486. I'm here to guide you on creating a journal entry to record business expenses you made with personal funds. 

 

First off, let's record the business expense you paid for with personal funds. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the + New menu, then select Journal Entry.
  2. On the first line, choose the expense account for the purchase.
  3. Enter the purchase amount in the Debits column, then choose Partner's equity or Owner's equity on the second line. 
  4. Enter the same purchase amount in the Credits column.
  5. Click Save and close.

 

Then, reimburse the money to your personal account by either creating a check or an expense. Here's how: 

 

  1. Go back to the + New menu, then select Check or Expense.
  2. Choose a bank account to use to reimburse the personal funds.
  3. Select the Partner's equity or Owner's equity from the Category section.
  4. Enter the amount and the necessary details. 
  5. Click Save and close.
