In very simple terms could someone please explain how I report payment back to Director of personal funds used to start up business ?(approx Aud $8000). Is it a simple bank transfer entry or more involved?

Thank you in advance.

    Hi Nick1970,

     

    Thanks for your post. There are a few separate ways of handling this and it is best to discuss which way suits your business with your accountant. Creating a loan liability account is certainly one of the common ways of recording these purchases.

     

    The first thing you need to do is to create the liability account by clicking on your business name>>select Account List and click add new. In the type field, select Credit Card as this makes the account available as a Pay from/to account when recording transactions. 

     

    When you record a purchase paid for by personal funds, change the Pay/from the field in Spend Money or Pay Bills to the loan liability account. When the business reimburses you record a transfer funds transaction with the transfer from the account being the business bank account and the transfer to the account being the loan liability account.

     

    I hope I answered your questions. If you need further information about this, please feel free to post again. We are happy to help you.

      Dear Celia 

       

      Thank you so much for the detailed information, greatly appreciated. As I have already input the Bills as paid, about 50 items in total, for around $10,000, is this OK?
