I have a bit of a confusing situation with a sort-of employee. I say sort-of because he's currently employed by one of our close vendors but offices out of our building and does some work for us while there. What would be the best way to pay him/keep track of the work he does for us vs our vendor. None of us can figure out how to go about this.

Welcome to the Community, deannaldh82.

 

To properly identify which way you should set up a particular employee in your books, I'd recommend working with an accounting professional. If you're in need of one, there's an awesome tool on our website called Find a ProAdvisor. All ProAdvisors listed there are QuickBooks-certified and able to provide helpful insights for driving your business's success.

 

Here's how it works:
 

  1. Go to our Find a ProAdvisor page.
  2. Use the City or ZIP search field to specify a location.
  3. Select Find a ProAdvisor.
  4. Browse through your results and find one that works best for the business. You can click on each ProAdvisor's profile to learn more information about them.

 

Once you've found an accountant, they can be contacted through their Send a message form:
 

  1. Use the available text box to introduce yourself. Be sure to include details about which services you're looking for.


     
  2. Enter your appropriate info in the Your nameYour email, and Your phone number (optional) fields.


     
  3. Hit Send message.

 

You'll also be able to find many detailed resources about using QuickBooks in our help article archives.

 

I'll be here to help if there's any questions. Have a lovely day!
