Hi,

I work in the healthcare industry and we have trust accounts for clients. The money does not belong to the company, but we'd like to begin tracking it in QB. Is there a way to add these bank accounts/transactions without having them show on our financial statements?

Thank you!

Thanks for laying out the details of your concern, Jaime. I'll clarify a few things about recording a bank transaction without appearing in your financial statements.

 

A financial statement (or balance sheet) is an itemized list of your company's assets, liabilities, and equity. Thus, it's not possible to exclude specific financial data you have entered in your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). Every transaction you record in the program will automatically appear in your financial reports unless it is non-posting.

 

Moreover, entering personal transactions or records that aren't part of the business is not advisable. Here's a resource that tackles more about this process: Mixing business and personal funds in QuickBooks Online. Though this article is about business and personal funds (owners or partners), please know that the same principles apply to your clients.

 

Nonetheless, you'll want to check out this detailed article that provides modification options when running financial reports in QBDT: Customize company and financial reports.

 

Additionally, here's an article for you in case you want to save a copy of reports to Excel (.xlsx), CSV spreadsheets, or PDFs from the program: Export reports as Excel workbooks in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

I'm all ears if you have other concerns about recording financial data or managing bank transactions. Have a great day ahead!
