How Can I Use Quickbooks As The Manager Of A Resort Who Takes Money In And Pays Owners Their Percentage?
I am an on-site manager for a small resort. We rent cottages year around. I take the reservation deposits, collect the balance when guests arrive, earn a percentage (from which I pay certain expenses such as supplies, someone to clean, and for laundry), and pay individual cottage owners their percentage.
I am trying out Quickbooks and having trouble figuring out how to best use it for my situation. For example, if I consider the guests customers in order to keep track of money coming in, how do I refer to the owners I have to pay in order to keep track of money going out? Should I put them in as vendors or ? I have to send monthly statements along with a check to each owner, as well as keep a running total for each so that at any given time, or at the end of the year, I can give them an accounting of how their cottage is renting. I also want to keep track of all of my expenses (cleaning supplies, office supplies, laundering costs, etc. as well as my own income.
ask my mom. she manages all that.
