In our chart of accounts under the expense section, we have an account for "Accounting & Legal" and also for "Professional Fees."
I thought that "Professional Fees" was for things like paying the fees to belong to professional organizations. I know some companies will pay the fees for professional engineers on staff, for example.
However, our accoutant having done year end, as part of the adjusting journal entries we received from him, assigns his invoice if you will, to "Professional Fees."
I am aware that "Professional Fees" is often times a revenue account whereby professionals, such as lawyers, record their sales for their services rendered.
So my question: even though the adjusting journal entry from the accountant puts his fees to our expense account, "Professional Fees," I actually instead put it to, "Accounting & Legal." Am I wrong in doing this?
