QuickBooks 101 - Understanding Key Terms

Last month, I talked about the various types of asset accounts that show up in the QuickBooks chart of accounts.

This month, we'll review the various terms relating to liabilities and equity:

  • Accounts Payable - money that you owe to vendors for the various materials, supplies and expenses incurred by the business.
  • Credit Card - a unique type of liability account that allows you to easily track credit card purchases and payments.
  • Other Current Liability - other debts and obligations the business needs to pay back in the next 12 months. Examples - sales taxes, payroll taxes.
  • Long Term Liability - debts and obligations to be paid back in more than 12 months. Examples - bank loans, leases, etc.
  • Equity - the amount "left over" or what a business is worth. Always calculated by taking total assets (own) minus total liabilities (owed).
