Invoice members of a club but record the fees received as an asset (without increasing income)
Hello all -
This is likely an odd use of QB - but here goes:
We have an LLC that exists solely as a container for a piece of property.
Each month, I have to invoice the members of the LLC for their use of the property - which is cost allocated to cover their share of recurring expenses and to fund some accounts that are essentially pre-paid expenses that accrue over a long time period and will eventually need to be paid as expenses or refunded to the members. I have to keep track of those reserve account balances - but they're not bank accounts.
What would be the best way to keep track of their time / usage of the property, invoice the members, and fund the accounts?
Currently, I have some items set up as "income" events (for property usage), invoicing the members at the agreed upon rate - and then receive payments and deposit to the bank account. Behind the scenes, I've made journal entries to convert the "income" to the reserve accounts - but, of course, crediting the "income" account and debiting the "asset" accounts results in the correct asset values, bank account values - but results in doubling the income account.
Any suggestions would be welcome...
by the way, this is intended to be a net zero revenue and profit arrangement. all of the members of the LLC own the property jointly and only want to cover current and future expenses with this fee arrangement.
Thanks!
