Company expenses paid with personal funds

Hi
Does your software allow for categories to be added and tracked? In particular, sometimes I pay for company expenses out of my personal account - effectively making a personal loan to my company (i am the sole shareholder) . Is there a way to create a field where i can track the total of personal loans made such that i can calculate how much I am due back?

Cheers
Catherine

Hi Catherine,

By default Solar Accounts comes with a 'Directors Loan Account' which can be used to track how much money is owed between the company and the director.  When you pay a company expense from your personal funds, create a Money Paid Out transaction with the Paid From Account field set to 'Directors Loan Account'.  When the company repays this loan to you, record a General Transaction from the Cheque Account to the Directors Loan Account.

(By the way, you can also create new accounts by clicking menu File > New > Account)

Cheers,
