Business owner (not an accountant) asking for best process

I am a small business owner (I am not and never wanted to be an accountant).

I have just re-entered 12 months of Purchase Transactions that apparently were paid "wrong" and now I just want to get the opinion of the "panel of experts" on the RIGHT way to process Bills.

I pay 99% of my bills via credit card and then pay that off from the Business cash. The Business Bank account is linked to my bank feed, but the credit card is not.

Generally:

Pay for goods on credit card and get an invoice

Create a Bill for the supplier, enter the invoice details and attach the invoice

Record a payment against the "Credit Card" GL account / category and save the transaction

We then transfer funds from the Bank account to the credit card to cover the invoice and any merchant fees.

When the Bank feed is updated we create a "Transfer Money" record from the Bank to the Credit card gl account / category and everything should line up.

However my Bank Statement is still out (maybe from some long ago transaction) and I cannot reconcile.

Are we following the "correct" process or should I be doing something else ? At one stage we did not record the payment against the bill and then Categorised the Bank transaction (paying the credit card) against the transaction - but I was told that was incorrect ?

Any sage advice will be appreciated.
