Private expenses from your employees can be paid directly to the employee’s account. Here is how it works.
If your employees make a private expense for the company, you can pay it directly from the bank to the account. You can then book it as a normal expense against the bank.
However, you technically miss the actual transfer from your bank to the employee's - which some accountants or tax people may be unhappy about. So the correct thing to do is to create a short-term liability account for the employee and post to it.
Create an account
Go to Settings (the gear)
Select Organization at the top (there is both Profile and Organization) > select Accounting
Select Edit chart of accounts at the bottom
Click on Create account in the top right corner
Account type must be Short-term liabilities
Add an account number
Fill in the name and write for example Expense "name"
Tick Allow payments on this account
Add a description if you want (optional)
⚠️ The VAT field must be empty
Tap Save account
Check the liabilities
You can always see how much the company owes the employee by going to the balance sheet :
Go under Reports > Balance sheet > Short-term liabilities
