How do I track owner contributions?

The answer
Record cash introduced by owners separately from guest revenue, using the accounting treatment appropriate to the business structure. Document the date, amount, source, purpose, and related decisions. An owner transfer can support operations without representing accommodation performance.
Incorrectly counting it as revenue distorts results. Obtain professional guidance where contributions, loans, and reimbursements need different treatment.
