by Lisa

I am a owner that withdraw cashier checks from my bank and deposit the unused cashier checks back in to my bank account.

How do I book it in quickbooks for MAC 2012? I was booking it as owners contribution because it is not income. Please help me.

Owners Fund

Owner

Hello, I'm in the process of establishing my business and I have a question about financial recording.

Specifically, I'm interested in how I should document instances where I infuse my personal funds into the business, such as when I transfer money from my personal bank account to the company's account.

I utilize Sage for managing the company's accounts, could you guide me on how to properly record such transactions? Thank you, Antonio.

New Owner Entry
by: BB

Hello Antonio, When you're putting your personal money into your business, this is often referred to as an owner's contribution or an owner's equity injection. These are typically recorded in an equity account in your company's books.

If you're using Sage, you would usually record this by crediting the bank account (as the bank balance increases) and debiting an equity account, such as "Owner's Equity" or "Owner's Capital."

Here's a basic step-by-step:

In Sage, navigate to the journal entries section.
Record a new entry.

Debit the "Owner's Equity" or "Owner's Capital" account for the amount you're injecting into the business.

Credit the company bank account for the same amount.

This reflects the increase in your company's assets (cash in the bank) and the corresponding increase in owner's equity (your investment in the business).

Owners Withdrawals

I am a sole proprioriety company. When I need to pay out money for personal use, I have been using an account called owners withdrawals. Example, When I need to pay the utilities for myself, the entry is as follows: Debit to owners withdrawal and credit to the checking account.
I have been in business for about 5 years. and the owners withdrawal account as accumulated over the years.
This distorts my financial statements. How can I adjust the balance of this account each year, so that it does not show such a large amount.


Hello,

Great question, thank you.

Each year you should be doing what is known as a closing entry. This will close the balance of all your equity accounts through retained earnings.

You will do this by posting an entry on January 1 of each year, crediting owners draw to clear the previous years entries and debiting retained earnings.
