Hello,

I have multiple companies in Quick books online. 

one of the companies is sold out which doesn’t have enough money to pay its bills, therefore I am transferring funds into this from active companies .

 

Will it be ok if I create a bank account of inactive company into other active companies? That way I can  show transfer of funds?

 

Or is there any other method?

 

Thanks

Hi there, @Sanjeev_angal.

 

Let me guide you on how to transfer funds between companies.

 

Although this transaction seems like a transfer, because both accounts are not in the same company files, it has to be recorded as an expense or a check from one company, and deposited by the other one. 

 

To transfer funds to the other company:

 

  1. Click the + New button.
  2. Under Vendors, select either Check or Expense.
  3. Select the bank account the funds are coming from.
  4. Enter the PayeePayment Date, and the Payment Method (optional).
  5. Under Category details, in the Category column, select an Asset or an Equity account to reflect the funds going out of the business. It's a good idea to consult an accountant or tax authority to be sure to select the correct account.
  6. Enter the amount to be transferred in the Amount column.
  7. Select Save and close or Save and new.

 

Then, the transfer is recorded as a deposit coming into the company. Refer to this link and proceed to the Receive Transferred Funds section for the detailed steps: Move Money From One Company to Another.

 

Additionally, you may encounter situations that will require you to pay for business expenses with personal funds or vice versa. It's important not to mix them. Here's an article that will guide you how to handle them: About Mixing Business and Personal Funds.
