Welcome! Thank you for reaching out, @mab001.

 

To record a loan from the Director to the company account, there are a few steps you can take. Let me guide you through the process.

 

Setting up a director's loan account is the first step in keeping track of the payment. Here's how:

 

  1. Proceed to Bookkeeping and choose Chart of Accounts.
  2. Click New.
  3. Enter and complete the fields.
  4. In the Unpaid balance field, enter the amount.
  5. Lastly, select Save and Close.

 

Now that you've created the director's loan account, it's time to record the payment for the loan. Let me show you how:

 

  1. Click + New and select Journal entry.
  2. Under the Account column, add the company's bank account.
  3. To record the payment, enter the payment amount in the Credits column of the same row as the bank account.
  4. Under the Debits column and in the same row as the director's loan account, enter the same amount as the payment.
  5. Add a note in the memo box.
  6. To finish up, click on the Save and Close button.

 

Opening a register for the director's loan account is a great way to stay on top of your company's finances. To do this, simply navigate to Account History.

 

In addition, I'd like to share some helpful links that can guide you through the process of recording a loan and managing expenses in QBO:
