Hello there, @DebbyH. I'm here to help you record the money I charge and receive for the lease of our employees to another company in QuickBooks Online.

Let's start by creating an invoice and adding another line item for the service fee. Here's how:
 

  1. Go to the + New button and select Invoice.
  2. From the Customer dropdown menu, select the customer.
  3. Fill out all the necessary information for your invoice.
  4. Then, Save and close.
     

After that, you'll record the payments of that invoice. This way, we can mark the invoice as paid or closed. I'll show you how.
 

  1. Click on +New.
  2. Select Receive payment.
  3. Enter the name of the Customer then, select the payment method.
  4. On the Deposit dropdown, select the account you'll want to put the payment into.
  5. In the Outstanding Transactions section, tick the checkbox for the invoice for which you're recording the payment.
  6. Enter the Reference no. and Memo if needed.
  7. Then select Save and close.

In addition, to track this type of transaction, you can create an account in the Chart of Accounts (COA). However, I'd recommend you refer to your accountant regarding the setup of the account. Since they know what's best for your business and can also provide further guidance.
