I have a cash basis client that has added her credit card to the balance sheet. No problem there. Her bookkeeper who resigned had been recording credit card payments by just paying the current month charges + interest with no appearance on balance sheet. Balance on card is about $12K.
So when the credit card is added to the balance sheet in Quickbooks, the opening balance is needed, the approximate $12K. That's the credit but what account should the debit go to - retained earnings?? officer's draw??
