... Which wouldn't be an "Expense" in the personal account of the owner
-- it would be an Asset, "Reimbursibles". So yes, it makes sense the
reconcile the Reimbursibles Asset account (they way I do it is to
"clear" the transactions when I file for my reimbursement and then
reconcile to $0 when I get paid). But I still don't see how/where you
would reconcile the expense account.
