Also, consider reaching out to an accountant to know what category to use when categorizing your personal transactions in QBO. This way, you can ensure that transactions are classified correctly, which is essential for accurate financial reporting and compliance.

It is also important to note that maintaining separate bank accounts for business and personal expenses is recommended to track your business cash flow, prepare accurate financials, and distinguish deductible business expenses from personal spending. This separation simplifies bookkeeping and reduces the risk of misclassification.

To streamline your transaction review process in the future, consider setting up bank rules in QuickBooks Online. These rules can automatically categorize your downloaded transactions.
