Keep track of my reimbursable expenses

Tip: For easier reading, click    (above).


If you frequently pay business expenses out of your personal bank account and are reimbursed later, you can use an asset account to help you keep these expenditures separate from your personal spending records.

1  Create an asset account called "Expense Report," and enter 0 (zero) as the purchase price of this asset.
2  Now, when you pay for a business expense from one of your personal accounts, enter the payment as a transfer from that account to the Expense Report account you just created.
3  When you're reimbursed, enter a deposit for that amount in the appropriate account (checking, credit card, or cash), and transfer that deposit to the Expense Report account.

Once you've been reimbursed for all your expenses, the balance of the Expense Report account should be zero.

To see a report of your business expenses

1  In the navigation bar, click Reports.
2  In the left pane, click Spending Habits, and then click Account Transactions.
3  At the bottom of the screen, select the expense account you created, and then click Go to Report/Chart.
