If you have a situation where you need to refund your customer the money they have paid you, you want to make sure that you are doing it correctly so that everything clears out in the customer’s account and they show the correct balance due if they have one, or that their account balance is zero if they no longer owe you any money. Refunding a customer seems so simple, but many of my clients struggle with how to record the transactions in their bookkeeping system. Most will issue a check for the balance they want to refund, but the confusion normally comes when they need to record the refund in QuickBooks. You may be having the same issues if you are using another bookkeeping software system, but as long as you follow a few key steps, your refund will be recorded correctly. In today’s podcast episode, I’m diving into how you should be correctly recording how you refund your customers in QuickBooks so that their balance is not only correct but everything is linked correctly in your bookkeeping system as well. Whether you are starting a business or side hustle, you’re a self-employed individual, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, mompreneur, freelancer, small business owner, a remote, virtual, online, or in-house bookkeeper, or a virtual assistant or VA, keeping your customers satisfied by refunding any amounts owed to them and recording it correctly in your bookkeeping software will help eliminate any clean up in the future and ensure your financial statements are accurate. These tips are essential whether you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, FreshBooks, or HoneyBooks for your business finances; or doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document…
