    I took over a set of books and I have a list of customer deposits received as a liability account and I need to clean these out from last year. Do you have a simple and easy method to do this as the money has already been received to the customer and deposited to the account and I don’t see any other account to apply this money to.

    Help!

  2. Hi Linda,

    I think you’ll find the answer by watching the video I did on handling Prepayments and Retainers.

    It sounds as though whomever was doing the books previously was not applying the deposits against the customer”s invoices when the job was complete. You may also want to check to see if they used credit memos (incorrectly) to apply against the invoices so that the customer account balance was correct, but the liability account was not relieved.

    Hope that helps.
