I want ALL the JE content your willing to provide 😂 even with a degree in accounting, I’m terrible at JE. Would also love to see an equity section of a partnership.

haha! ok - I will see what I can do. The danger of giving JE content is people posting all sorts of bad JEs to their books :D

Great overview of the "Book Value" of the business in a properly accounted Equity section. Could you further expand your analysis to explain the difference of Book Value versus Fair market Value of a business?

Hi Hanna, do you have a best practice for dealing with the equity of multiple partners? For example, would you prefer splitting out the distributions into separate line items for each partner (Ex: Partner A: Distributions, Partner B: Distributions) along with the allocation of their Retained Earnings to each Partner's separate "capital" account to show each partners total accumulated share of RE? And would this be the same for S-Corps? Thanks!

I transferred into QBO from another accounting software. What do you recommend we do with Opening Balances?

When the owner moves the money for taxes to a personal "taxes only" account, then do I use that account to pay for my quarterly taxes? but the the business records would only show the estimate amount that I transferred out of that account?

Enjoyed the video. Does the opening balance equity ever get rolled into retained earnings? I have had people suggest I do that as a closing entry.

Hi Clara, i have a question regarding adding owner to QBO. If i need to categorize owner draw from bank feed can i just leave the box "customer/vendor" blank? Essentially an owner draw we know the owner received a distribution. Advise with your expertise would be appreciated. -Tony
