I’m assigned to do an accounting job for a company that
Been existing already so the new owner purchased the company in 2023 for 1 million on credit from his friend ( he trust him to pay so no loan no actual money or papers ) so 500k for the old owner and 500k for an existing various types of debts ( unpaid wages , rents , suppliers …etc) the new owner didn’t pay a thing and didn’t invest any capital ( zero cash ) and decided to pay the old owner and old debts in installments but not on monthly bases , and since 2023 until today he been depending on paying current expenses and old liabilities using the current income of the company , the company had and tangible assets worth 500k and a iso license worth 100k
Q1:how do I make the opening initial record so it can balance and equal to zero
Q2: how do I record the old liabilities and the debt for old owner
Q3: how I don’t mix the current business financial situation without counting the old debts in my report
I will be using manager accounting software for the first time as well
I would appreciate any advice on the matter
