Our COA was set up several years ago, by an accountant who apparently was not well versed in Trust accounting.  All of the “client expenses” are tied into our attorney’s lists and the P&L, giving the false impression that the attorney pays for all of the clients’ expenses.  The clients’ expenses should be routed to their individual current liability accounts. 

How to I move the major heading of “client’s expenses” and all of the sub-groups out of the attorney’s area and into another listing, so as not to co-mingle the two sets of expenses?  Where should the client’s expenses be placed (dragged to)?  Should I be making a new listing to accept the client expenses?  What about the entries made by QB in the general journal?  I do not think I should be directly linking them to the trust bank, as the cost of the expense is kept in the client’s own liability account, and withdrawn only when the matter is closed or at an intermediary point when the attorney has earned a portion of the money deposited into the clients’ account.

Any and all help will be gratefully appreciated.  Using QBO 2024
