Member expense claims & Reimbursements

Hello!

I have a question on recording an expense reimbursement for a member of my LLC. I have been using the Expense Claims tab to record the expenses incurred by multiple members of my LLC via their personal accounts (expenses were incurred before our bank account was established).

These appear to have correctly credited each partner’s capital account, so I know how much each partner will need to deposit in cash into our bank account to equal their stated initial capital contribution as stipulated on our company agreement.

Here’s my problem now though. One of my partner’s has deposited the remainder of his initial capital into the business bank account and his capital account now balances. However, we are still waiting to receive our company credit card, and he therefore had to incur another expense with his personal credit card. I have issued a check from our business bank account to reimburse him for this expense.

How do I record this transaction in Manager io? I don’t believe I could do this as an expense claim because that would credit his capital account, making it higher than his actual contribution. I want to make sure that I am properly showing that the issued check and resulting outflow of money from the business bank account was a reimbursement for a business expense on a personal account but also want to record what the expense was for (Marketing & Advertising). I feel I could just create a “Member Reimbursement expense” expense account and debit that but I want to be able to classify the expense as Marketing & Advertising for future reference.

How should I record the reimbursement check I wrote for the member in Manager io?

Thank you!

Process it to the capital account of the member as a drawing.

Hi AJD, Thank you for your response. That idea crossed my mind, but I wasn’t sure if that would be a proper way to balance the books. So it would be a correct accounting procedure to increase the partner’s capital account via the Expense Claim then clear it with a Payment from that member’s capital account?

So, the transaction when then be the following:
(1) Enter an Expense Claim for the Partner for $X amount marked as Marketing & advertising – attaching actual receipt to this transaction

(2) Enter a Payment from that Partner’s Capital account for $X to wipe out the increase to the account from (1) – attaching the check stub used to pay Partner from business’ bank account to this transaction
