Laurent,
Create a “Pre-paid Expenses” asset account.
Enter a transaction on January 1 as follows:
Dr. Pre-paid Expenses $45
Cr. Bank Account $45
Then on January 31:
Dr. Expenses:Subscription $13
Cr. Pre-paid Expenses $13
On February 28/29:
Dr. Expenses:Subscription $18
Cr. Pre-paid Expenses $18
On March 31:
Dr. Expenses:Subscription $14
Cr. Pre-paid Expenses $14
You are pre-paying an expense and then ‘using’ that pre-payment by the end of
each month. The above transactions will allow you to move the money out of your
bank account on the proper day, and then have each month properly reflect the
portion of that expense just for that month.
If the reverse were true and you were billed at the *end* of the three months
instead, you would use a “Deferred Expenses” liability account, enter each
month’s expenses as ‘paid by’ that liability account and then enter the payment
against that liability account when you actually get the bill.
Regards,
Adrien
