Hello,
I recently took over the accounting for a small business that has grown very quickly over the last year. 30 of our employees have company master cards which is necessary as they need to purchase equipment for our clients on a daily basis. They currently have 30 master cards set up as vendor accounts and post monthly invoices with all the expenses separated as different general line items. For many obvious reasons, this needs to change. I have been advised to set up each master card account as a bank account, post every receipt into the system under its own vendor account, post the payments from the correct master card account and set up account reconciliations for each master card account.
I have reconciled bank accounts before, but have never set up this many accounts on my own. Could anyone offer advice / confirm that this is the best way to deal with these credit cards? Thank you.
