Join Jess Stratton for an in-depth discussion in this video Assessing finance charges, part of QuickBooks Pro 2015 Essential Training.
- When you're customers don't pay their bills on time…you can assess finance charges,…which is a percentage of their outstanding balance.…Before you can assess finance charges you need to…set them up in Quickbooks first.…Select Edit from the top menu and choose Preferences.…Click on the Finance Charge section…and then click Company Preferences.…The first thing you need to decide…is what the annual interest rate's going to be,…that is the percentage of their outstanding balance.…You also need to decide ahead of time…if there's going to be a minimum figure,…that is the minimum amount before Quickbooks…will start assessing charges.…
You can also choose whether there's a grace period.…Then you need to tell Quickbooks where to track this income.…I'm going to create a new account.…I'll keep the Account Type as Other Income,…and I'll call this one Finance Charges.…Click Save & Close.…Now we have an account to track our finance charge income.…I can decide whether or not I want to assess…finance charges from customers…
