Is there a way to make Journal Entries (or a workaround to have the same effect)?

The entries your accountant will give you are not different from any 
other entry.  Usually, you use the year-end date. Enter the amount, 
whatever label your accountant gives you, and select the two accounts.  
You may need to create an account or subaccount in some cases, but 
usually the existing accounts will suffice.  Clarify with your 
accountant that you are debiting (or crediting) correctly.
