  • I am just converting my hobby of raising honey bees into a business. So I need to know how to classify purchases I have made for bees and the actual hives themselves. From live bees, to the wooden boxes what type of accounts do I put them in? The Wooden ware has a life expectancy of 20 years so would need to depreciate it. Bees, 1 year...

I have set up the 4 Owner's Investment and Draw accounts for each owner to properly track investments and draws, but I'm hesitant to set up Retained Earnings into 4 accounts if the profits will not automatically be allocated to each owner account.

  • I needed to pay a bill in cash and took a cash advance from my credit card, I then used that money to pay the bill. My question is how was I to enter this? The cash advance comes from my credit card. Do I put this into cash on hand? And then somehow pay the bill from cash on hand? This is messing up my reconciliation. Any advice is apprecia…

  • I have a client who has moved to the US and has requested that I now invoice her in USD. My business currency is set at SGD and I have Stripe integration set up for payments, Is it just a matter of me just changing the currency to USD when I invoice her and she still pays via Stripe?

I loaded my client's bank statements and typically it doesn't result in any errors but I noticed that my trial balance is consistently off by $25 past Sept 6, 2019. I have double checked my side and don't think there are any data issues. Can someone please let me know what is wrong? Many thanks, Har…

  • My accounting needs are incredibly simple. I'm a dog groomer, and I track my income in only two categories: sales and tips. Every week when I pay myself, I need to see my total sales and total tips for that week. I currently use QB, and in that I use the sales by product/service report. I know Wave does not currently have such a report, so I'm won…

  • I mainly sell products that I make on one specific website and they pay monthly. When they pay they deduct their fees automatically. For example, I may have sold $8000 worth of product for one month but their expenses (percentage of products sold) would be $1000. So they actually send me $7000 instead of $8000. The issue is I need to document thi…

Why would payments appear as income? Aft…
