Account management

Thanks for joining the thread, @Aviaoaccounting. 

 

As mentioned by my colleague above, the parent account is disconnected and created as a reconcile account, because it doesn't get the individual transactions, but it gets the statement for all accounts' transactions. From your example provided, the parent account receives the payments that cover the employee account balances. If you want to use a Bank Feed for the parent and sub-accounts, you'll want to reconcile it all on one statement and then use a 3-tier account setup. 

 

The 3-tier set up will be:

 

  • The parent account- which has no connection but is used to reconcile all the accounts.
  • The Sub-parent- which is actually the primary card that has your main credit card payments going into it. (Can be connected to Bank Feeds)
  • The sub-account of the sub- parent account- which will include all of the respective employee cards. (Can be connected to Bank Feeds)

Here's a screenshot of the set up:
