Tracking money owed

I am using QuickBooks desktop.

 

What is the best way to the record the following.

 

A client pays in £1,000 into my client account to pay his bills.

 

I pay £50 for his mobile, £250 for his council tax, £300 for his electricity bill.

 

On top of that he pays me a fee for doing this of £100.

 

How is the best way to record this, and then how can I view a report, showing what transactions were paid out of the £1000 and also to show that my £100 is a fee rather than an actual bill paid on his behalf.

 

Furthermore he always rounds asks me to round up the bills, so e.g. if the bill is £299.20 he wants me to deduct £300 from the money on account. How can I put it in quickbooks to show the actual amount but then deduct from his float £300.

 

Finally how can I view at a glance when asked how much of the £1000 is remaining.

Hello Jack1289

 

We have spoken with our desktop specialist who has advised on this instance we would have to recommend speaking to an accountant on how best to record this. As we are not accountants we can not give any accountancy advise.

We welcome replies from any pro advisors on the Community to give any suggestions on this thread.
