    Hi Lucian1 

     

    Thank you for your response. 

     

    If you do combine or transfer balances from one account to other account this will not affect your balance sheet. If you will not be using the Cash drawer accounts you can combine this to the new account. You may refer to our Help Article, Combining accounts, that has detailed information to assist with this.

     

    Please feel free to post again I'm happy to assist.

Thanks so much for the response!

So, any suggestions on how to make that entry?  Should the cash drawer be "deactivated" or kept at zero balance.  What kind of an impact would it have on my balance sheet since all I would be doing is switching the balance from one acct to another?

sorry, but i checked the combine accounts linked you recommended and have a question.  It mentioned you can only combine accounts of the same type.  would the cash drawer acct (asset)and the director loan acct(long term liabilty acct) be considered the same acct type since they are both on the balance sheet?

    Hi Lucian1 

     

    Thank you for your response.

     

    Sorry that I wasn't able to check this before sending. Asset and Liability can't be combined, so transferring the money to the Directors account would be the best option. If you will not be using the old account you can just deactivate it. Please let me know if you have further question. I'm happy to assist.
