How to handle drawings

My business is a sole proprietorship, not a company. If I take money out of my business account as Drawings, what other account do I post it to. I set it up as an expense account, but that falsely reduces the profit line. It should be against a capital or equity account I presume. I'm in Canada so don't know if some of these conventions and terms are different from the UK.

  1. Hi Kim,

    I wouldn't want to give you bad advice, and this seems like a good quick question for an accountant. I would suggest keeping a dedicated bank account for your business though if you can because this will help in the statement reconciliation.
