Hello there, ejaz. I'm here to help you how to set up a Petty Cash account in QuickBooks Online. 

 

To establish a petty cash account, follow these steps: When transferring funds from your bank account to petty cash, ensure that the transaction is reflected in this account.

 

Here how:

 

  1. Go to Settings ⚙ and select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Select New.
  3. From the Account Type dropdown▼, select Cash and Cash Equivalents.
  4. From the Detail Type dropdown▼, select Cash on hand.
  5. Enter Petty Cash in the Name field.
  6. The opening balance will be created when you move money from the current account by writing a cheque or transferring funds. If you already have money to use for petty cash, enter the amount in the Balance field and select the as-of-date.
  7. Select Save and Close.

 

If you need further guidance to use the Perry Cash account, follow the instructions to this page: Set up and use petty cash in QuickBooks Online.
