Question

Price paid to vendors but owe investor instead

We are a new startup that has had to use family financial investments. To get started, whereby the actual vendor is paid off, but now the company needs to repay the non-owner family members back. Any thoughts on how to do this?

Record the bill payment through a fake bank account.  Call it clearing.  Then debit the bank account for the bill payment amount using a journal entry and credit a current liability account to the person that needs to be paid back.

 

When you pay back this person, use the current liability as the expense account on the check.
