I am starting bookkeeping for a startup company.

How should I account when I invoice a client and then pay a percentage of that amount to our associate?

How should I account when our associates pay us for training and then we pay the training company?

How should I account when the principals put in their money to cover the admin support expense?

Thank you!

Hi lindsayinman, 

 

Welcome to the Community! It's great that you're taking advantage of the features QuickBooks Online has to offer in order to help you manage the books for this growing business. Becoming familiar with a new program can take time, so I want to ensure that you have the resources you need. 

 

The QuickBooks Community has your back when it comes to support for the technical components of QuickBooks Online. Some of the transactions you mention in your post are less commonly seen accounting scenarios. I recommend checking with your accountant to confirm what the best way to handle these would be for your particular business needs. If you're already in contact with an accountant, you can invite them to view the company's books by navigating to the My Accountant tab of the left hand menu. If you're not already working with one, don't worry. You can use the Find a pro to help button to search for a QuickBooks certified Pro Advisor near you who can advise you on the best course of action for posting your transactions. 

 

I recommend checking out the following links regarding invoices, payments and billable expenses. The QuickBooks Support page includes tutorials, articles and other resources that may be of use to you: 

 

 

If you have any technical questions about the program please don't hesitate to reach out!
