  • Hi, what would you do in the case of paying off a personal credit card (cash) with a personal bank account (cash)? I would assume do a transfer between the two, bu then the personal bank account (cash) goes negative. Is this the correct way to account for this?

  • Hi there,
    It sounds like your personal bank account is not being tracked accurately with
    its counterpart in the accounting software. If it were, then the personal
    bank account would have a positive balance you would be using to pay the
    credit card off. If the personal credit card is also not fully tracked by
    the accounting system you might as well not record anything - the business
    wasn't involved so it doesn't need to show up on the business' books.
