accounting for loans as liabilities

I have a company that works like a bank. We take investments from individuals. Interest is paid quarterly to each of thse customers. How can I account for this in Quickbooks?

I want to be able to give each customer a quarterly statement showing their beginning balance, any additional amounts they invested or withdrew, interest paid and and fees they paid for management of the portfolio.

It seems that customers in Quickbooks can only be set up as entities that owe the company; they are invoiced and they make payments. I need the customer statements, transaction history, etc. that you get with the part of Quickbooks, but for amounts owed to the customer, not from the customer.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.

You may want to consider using statement charges, and entering credits, fees, etc. directly into the customer register.

You are aware (aren't you?) that you can issue a Credit Note to record money owed to a Customer?

It is possible to use QB for almost any kind of business, but it is not necessarily the best choice for all. "Banking" is a specialized business for which QB is not a great choice - nor are other generalized small-business bookkeeping programs. Specialized software for this type of business will, of course, cost much more than QB and its competitors.

Invest in software geared towards your industry. QuickBooks is not a solution you should be using.
