Accounting & BookkeepingAccounting & Financial Management3MediumBookkeeper$ implied
Bookkeeper struggles to record gross income and deductions from trucking settlement statements when only net pay hits the bank account, seeking a clean journal entry method.
Wave only imports net bank transactions, so it doesn't automatically split settlements into gross income and deduction categories; manual journal entries are needed but unclear.
