How to Record Capital in Accounting Software: Journal Entries and Practical Examples

Learn how to record business capital in accounting software, including cash and non-cash contributions, journal entries, account setup, and their impact on the balance sheet.

To record capital in accounting software, create the appropriate account under equity and enter the owner's contribution using its supporting documents and transaction date. For a cash contribution of 20,000, debit Bank and credit Capital for 20,000.

For non-cash contributions, such as equipment or inventory, record the asset at the appropriate accounting value against the relevant capital account. Do not classify owner contributions as sales revenue, and distinguish capital from loans and withdrawals. Review the trial balance and balance sheet after posting.
