Use this interactive demo to learn how to make a journal entry in FreshBooks.

‍

‍

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a manual journal entry in FreshBooks to record complex B2B transactions like depreciation, payroll, or loan interest.

‍

  1. Log in to your FreshBooks account and click on the Accounting tab located on the left sidebar.
  2. Click on View Your Journal Entries.
  3. Click on Create Journal Entry.
  4. Fill the New Journal Entry form and click Save.

📌 Why this matters

Manual journal entries give you direct control over your books when automated transactions can't capture the full picture. You can properly allocate expenses across departments, record non-cash transactions like depreciation, and make adjustments that keep your financial reports accurate for stakeholders.

Beyond basic bookkeeping, these entries become your audit trail for complex business decisions. When tax season arrives or investors request detailed financials, having precise journal entries demonstrates professional financial management and can significantly streamline the review process.
