SOLE TRADER

Hi everyone. Sorry I'll preface this with I'm not accounting minded at all.....

 

I've signed up recently for Business Lite. We are using a sole trader structure. The only available options for income allocation are company, partnership and unit trust. Pretty sure I stated sole trader on sign up.......I just went with company because I didn't think it would really matter, but now I have accounts such as PAYG which is not relevant, and it has a balance of $175 which I have no idea why?? I've not done any pay runs. Is that figure just from our sales this far??

    Hi Melly1, 

     

    Thanks for reaching out and welcome to Community Forum. 

     

    There are only two ways I could think of that an account would have a balance on it. First is if we created a transaction (pay run) and second is if there was any opening balance added to the ledger account. What I would suggest since you don't have any pay runs on the file, is to open Accounting > Chart of Accounts > Edit Accounts > See if there are any opening balances that are incorrect in all accounts. 

     

    Let us know if you need further assistance with this. We're happy to help. 

     

    Cheers,
