  • Hi Dizzyswinger,

     

    I see that you're seeking advice on how to bill your client for travel expenses and how to keep a record of these costs. This can be quite specific to your business, so I'd recommend discussing this with your accountant. Meanwhile, I've come across a link that might provide some useful information.

     

    Feel free to get in touch if you need more help.

     

    Cheers,

    Princess

    Every Business Owner decides what their Income Streams are and how they will track them.

    I work with a Printing Franchisee and the Franchisor has some 28 Income Accounts.

     

    Would create a Income Account called Travel Recovered from Clients.

     

    Let us know.
