Paying Cleaning Fee for Short Term Rental via Zelle

We only recommend connecting your business account with QuickBooks, @abgout. I'll help you record your transactions that are paid using personal account correctly. 

In QuickBooks, we avoid mixing personal with business transactions. In your case, you can create a journal entry to record the business expense you paid for with personal funds. 

Though, I'd recommend reaching out to your accountant for further advice on this matter. 

Here's how to record as journal entry:

1. Click the + New menu, then select Journal entry.
2. In the first line, select the expense account for the purchase.
3. Enter the amount in the Debits column.
4. Pick Partner's equity or Owner's equity in the second line, then enter the same purchase amount in the Credits column.
5. Click Save and close.

After that, reimburse your personal account. For the reimbursement, you may either record it as a check or as an expense. 

Here's how to create a check:

1. Click the + New menu, then select Check. 
2. Choose a business bank account to use to reimburse the personal funds.
3. In the category column, select partner's equity or owner's equity.
4. Enter the amount to reimburse.
5. Click Save and close.

Here's how to record the reimbursement as an expense:

1. Click the + New menu, then select Expense. 
2. Pick a business bank account to use to reimburse the personal funds.
3. In the category column, select partner's equity or owner's equity.
4. Enter the amount of the reimbursement.
5. Hit Save and close.
