Question

Stupid question..... but I've taken on fixing many errors caused by the person before me and I want to double check.   If a bank transfer has been done from our USD account to our Canadian account do I categorize the transaction as a transfer in both accounts?  Or do I have to match them?

 

Trying desperately to get rid of many duplicates in expenses and income right now

Hi DebGer,

 

That's a valid question and I'd be happy to help you with it. Fixing errors caused by another person can be a strenuous process but I'm glad you're using QuickBooks to simplify the process. I'll be happy to steer you in the right direction with this. 

 

Categorizing transactions the right way is a crucial step to ensuring your books remain accurate and organized. I'd recommend contacting an accounting professional to get expert advice. Doing this helps prevent errors in your books. If you need to search for an accounting professional, click on this link here. Once you're on the site, enter your postal code and hit the search icon in order to view the accountant professional near your area. In the meantime, here are some helpful resources I recommend checking out: 

 

If these transactions are in your bank feed, you can simply select them, hit Exclude and they'll be excluded. In case you need further assistance, don't hesitate to get back to me in the comments below. My goal is to get you up and running so you can focus on the things you love. 

 

I'll be one message away. Otherwise, have an amazing rest of the week!

Thank you, I went to the link for instructions but it isn't really telling me about handling of bank transfers specifically
