I work for a company who is an LLC operating for tax purposes as an S Corp.  The Single Owner Shareholder loves to mix his money, creditcards, etc through the company books.  Actually I think all of his familys personal expenses hit the Quickbooks Desktop Pro application at some point each month.  Therefore, I have created classes for expenses so I can separate them for reporting purposes and he will also be able to tell where is money is going for his personal expenses as well. Rather than lumping it all in a Due to/ From asset account, I can still catagorize the expenses so we can generate financials for solely the business and then combine them if desired.  This seems to help,  I also took over the accounting for a company that hadn't kept any books at all in the 3rd year of their business operating, so it has been challenging.  This might be an option for you.
