I'm here to help you create a journal entry for business expenses you covered with personal funds, hpandya.

 

I'll walk you through the process step by step of Recording Business Expenses Paid with Personal Funds:

 

  1. Go to the + New menu, then select Journal Entry.
  2. On the first line, choose the expense account for the purchase.
  3. Enter the purchase amount in the Debits column, then click Partner's equity or Owner's equity on the second line. 
  4. Enter the same purchase amount in the Credits column.
  5. Click Save and close.

 

Next, you’ll want to reimburse yourself for the expenses incurred. Here’s how to do it:

 

  1. Go back to the + New menu, then select Check or Expense.
  2. Choose a bank account to use to reimburse for personal funds.
  3. Select the Partner's equity or Owner's equity from the Category section.
  4. Enter the amount and the necessary details. 
  5. Click Save and close.

If you're unsure of the process, you can contact an accountant. This way, they can guide you and ensure the funds transfer to your preferred account. If you don't have an accountant, I can help you find one. Feel free to visit this page: Find a QuickBooks ProAdvisor.
