As a Sole Proprietor, how do I enter expense reimbursement for a client on an invoice?

Hi there bcsp1,

Thanks for reaching out about your expenses and sales. QuickBooks Online is a great tool able to assit you in keeping track of your sales and expenses so you know the profitability of your company. I can point you in the right direction for assistance with entering this sale.

If you want to affect another account when creating a sales transaction, like an invoice, then you would need to create a new product or service that affects the account wanted as the income account. You can do so by going to the Sales tab, then Products and services. Click on new, then give the product a name and select the account you want to affect in the Income account section.

To know which account you should be affecting, or if you should be using another process for these expense reimbursements to make sure everything affects your books correctly, I recommend reaching out to your accountant. Their expertise will be able to best guide you in this transaction so your account totals can be accurate. You can invite your accountant by going to the My accountant section and entering their contact details. You can also find an accountant near you by clicking on the Find a pro to help button in that tab.

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out here.
