Define "fund transfer" for us.
This is a new client and they said they used to display transfers to their reserve fund on the bottom of the monhtly P&L.
So the transfers they are referring to are movement of money to some sort of restricted reserve fund.
Does that make sense?

A funds transfer is neither income nor expense, so it should never appear in a P & L.



They may have been doing something that simply isn't correct, of course. Perhaps they were using Other Income and Other Expense. Not a good practice.
In QB, you can do some fund accounting by rebalancing Equity, from/to Restricted and Unrestriced. But this is not P&L data, it is Balance Sheet data.
I do this for a county water district but I do it using Bank subaccounts. Still on the balance sheet, obviously, and not P&L.
