HI ,Will I have any issues if I add an asset to an 'Asset account' in expense window.?
@essentiallyintentionalСағат бұрын
No that should be just fine! I like creating the fixed asset first in the chart of accounts, but doing it in the expense screens has the same end result. Just make sure it's a Fixed Asset and not set as a current asset

Question, how do you handle credit card transactions and the actual deposit of the credit card funds to bank account when completing the monthly sales JE?
@essentiallyintentional2 сағат бұрын
The total amount of cc payment collected is entered via the journal entry into the clearing account in a given time frame and the daily deposits are handled in the bank feed by clearing out that clearing account

Your video was extremely helpful. I was doing a clean up for a new client that had done reconciliations without understanding the different balances. I had to undo their recon's and then used your instructions for a bulk clean up for 2019-2023. It worked and was able to reconcile as you normally should month to month & got their 2024 done in less than an hour. Thank you for your clear instructions.

Can’t say without more info, but generally credit cash or loan and debit any physical fixed assets and/or goodwill (purchase price - physical fixed assets) while also accounting for any outstanding liabilities from debt taken on during the acquisition.

Hey Gunnar! First off, very helpful video! Thank you! I'm running into the situation where I have manual entered card transactions in the mix. I made an income account to put them under, but I'm confused on how to go about this. They were manually entered through shopify - so shouldn't they be included in that clearing account line item in the journal? I mean the fees would've likely had to come out within the payouts for that month as well, right?

Hi Gunnar- When you enter the journal entry for the sales tax payable, how do you differentiate the different jurisdictions, so the STL report matches? we do many events every month and some are in the same town that we have normal sales in. Do I just need to set up two differently liability accounts for each jurisdiction? That would be a lot.. When i pull the report on normal sales billed through QB (sales that QB calculates sales tax for) It shows what is owed. However when I make a sales tax payment for the special events, because we make payments to the same jurisdictions it offsets the amount. I'm not sure how the sales tax journal entry offsets the amount that is owed for special events or how to record it since it doesn't show the different accounts on the STL report. Does that make sense? Maybe a phone call would be easier if you're still available to work with clients.

For this, it is possible, and I’d be glad to get you set up. This would require a training session with me to go over as it’s more complicated and customized. Essentially what we would do is set everything up to utilize Invoices (or Sales Receipts) instead of Journal Entries and run the sales tax through QBO that way.

I'd create two different Estimate and Invoices templates (form styles in QBO) and name them accordingly for each location. You can change the logo there in the design templates. Then, when creating estimates and invoices in the future just be sure to choose the correct associated location design template and you should be good to go

If I record monthly sales from the POS by source like insurance company a, b, c, POS payment, can I record credit for total sales and debit a clearing account asset for each source? Then, when I see the funds in my bank feed do I just categorize them to the appropriate clearing accounts and then I’m left with total sales and any outstanding clearing asset balance for yet to be paid items?
@essentiallyintentional15 күн бұрын
Yes, that is all possible and correct!
@Logan-yo4rx22 күн бұрын
When you make the deposit entries to clear the “Undeposited” clearing accounts with the bank account, do you need to ensure the total ties exactly to a deposit from the bank feed and then it would allow them to match so my bank feed is “categorized”? So for example if I get paid every other day in the bank feed I’d make a deposit entry drawing down undeposited fund assets for each bank feed deposit that matches exactly? I have the same dilemma with Jane where a payout report might be really good as a journal entry as you show and my bank feed will get paid over time but could fall across months so I’d want to know total sales in the month even if I didn’t collect all payments yet.

I have a couple of questions- The payouts are multiple days lumped together so they don't often match to the Payments page.

I can book a training but I don't really think I have a full hour of questions. Thank you.

How would you log a vehicle if you share it with your business? If you use it for both personal and business. Thanks!!
@essentiallyintentional15 күн бұрын
For this, I would talk to a tax person to verify if and how you can take depreciation on that asset and then adjust your bookkeeping from there. Usually, putting a vehicle on a business balance sheet is if the vehicle is used 100% for business. If mixed, this is usually handled during tax returns by splitting up expenses rather than depreciation on the Balance Sheet. Again though it’s worth more tax implication research for your exact situation. Thanks for watching!

Hey thank you so much for this video. How do you handle these monthly entries when you have a cash basis client who takes payment plans from their clients. The Total Sales doesn't equal Total Payments. Since they're cash basis, I'm putting Total Payments to Sales in the JE but now I'm having trouble with it balancing due to the sales tax payable and discounts.. thank you for any insight you can provide!
@essentiallyintentional15 күн бұрын
You’re welcome! It’s a little more involved. Usually closed invoices in a time period show up on both sales summary and payments portion of report, but it can get more complicated with invoice payments that are still open. I essentially record the first entry on a cash-basis (counting sales based on payment amount collected for that month), then complete a second journal entry to adjust outstanding Accounts receivable. This is usually found in a separate report within Square

It depends on how they need to be handled with taxes depending on how your incorporated and how they are being disbursed via payroll (if they are) so it’s hard to give a definitive answer via KZbin messages without a deeper dive. I’ve handled clients in a few different ways, sometimes with straight Tips Liability account being increased and decreased and sometimes a seperate tips income and tips paid out expense account. Whether liability or income will determine how it is set up in your Clover Journal Entry Template.

very informative, we are a medical business selling retails products, sometimes under a prescription, sometimes not prescribed, the same item can be taxable if not prescribed, and non taxable if bought with a prescription. moreover on the same bill, someone could have items with taxes and some without, for instance 600$ total but only 1.27$taxes. Do you have any advice so we can have clear reports at the end of the month on how much we owe to our dear government? appreciated
@essentiallyintentionalАй бұрын
Given that the items are set up correctly in Clover and ran correctly at the POS stage, I would say that you should be able to gather the information you need using a combination of two reports in Clover: the "Item sales" report under Reports, which can also be sorted in various ways and exported to Excel if needed and also the "Taxes" report found under Finances.

Thanks in advance for your help.

If desired, feel free to book a one-on-one session with me and I’d be glad to go over this: calendly.com/essentially-intentional/training-with-gunnar-1-hour But, if you would like to attempt yourself, here is the basic idea. Instead of a journal entry template, you create an Invoice template. Then you set up your products and services accordingly with the correct sales tax settings in QBO, then you enter in the square numbers using positives and negatives on the invoice, but not entering the sales tax portion. If done correctly, QBO will then calculate a sales tax on the invoice but the total balance on the invoice at the end will be $0, but the sales tax portion will carry over to the QBO sales tax liability report.

Hey. Thanks for the video, but what do I do if someone only pays a partial payment? Ie sales for the day of 2,000 payments in of 1,500? Thanks!!!
@essentiallyintentional3 ай бұрын
If you want a strictly “cash-basis” accounting, then you could lower the sales portion to $1,500 to match the payments collected, and then do the opposite when the payment collected, that day the collected will be higher than sales, but then you could just raise your sales portion for that day to match the cash colletced. If you want more “accrual-based” accounting, then you could create an asset account, probably “Accounts Recievable” to record the sales on the day they are incurred. So, in this case it would be: Debit: $1,500: Payment Collected Debit: $500: Accounts Receivable Asset Account Credit: $2,000 Sales Then, say next day payment is made for yesterday’s sale, total $1,000 sales, $1,500 collected, then, Debit: $1,500 Payment Collected Credit: $500: Accounts Receivable Asset Account Credit: $1,000: Sales

Greetings, so I wouldn't have to touch the entries in the bank statement, I just wait until the end of the month and make the single entry in the journal? Shopify groups several payments into one, would there be a way to reconcile the bank statement for greater accuracy or is it better not to touch them?
@essentiallyintentional3 ай бұрын
No, in order to complete bank reconciliations, you will need to categorize every debit and credit in and out of the bank account for the same exact dollar amounts and dates. You will still only be entering one Journal Entry to record most of your Shopify activity into your books like sales, but will still need to do something with each Shopify to Bank deposit in the Bank Feed. These will mostly be categorized to lower the Shopify Clearing Asset account. Then, you will have all Shopify info entered but also keep the capability of completing the monthly bank reconcilaitions.

My sales report has the gross sales less than the total collected. This company takes deposits for their products. When doing the JE I can't save it because the totals aren't the same. How do I make up the difference in the JE? One other thing that is off is the "other" payment. If it's a check I would think it would be deposited but I don't see it in the bank feed(QBO). Where do I start to look for answers? This is my first Rodeo with Square. I'm starting 1/1/2024. Thanks.
@essentiallyintentional3 ай бұрын
It’s hard to say for sure without knowing more. A possible solution for the deposits is adding a Customer Deposits liability account and including that in the JE. Then you would debit and/or credit this same account in order to post customer deposits collected and redeemed, this will balance out the Journal entry: Sales: $50 Credit Card Collected: $75 Deposits: $25 Debit: Square Clearing Account: $75 Credit: Sales: $50 Credit: Customer Deposits Liability Account: $25 In terms of the other payment type, I’d look to see if cash and check deposits are being combined at the bank, if this is the case, then it wouldn’t be a dollar-to-dollar match.
