I might be missing something, but I’m reading that Mike is referencing the example of corporate card, not expenses paid by an employee that is to be reimbursed. The company pays the card -always. A family business I used to work for had this for several cards. The business had multiple owners/manages with cards having their own names but identical digits. (some banks instead issue cards that have different digits, but still technically the same account) There was no reimbursement issue. It was simply for convenience and tracking as opposed to having one physical card.

That is what they are doing already but noted that the Reconcile window doesn’t display the sub-account for each transaction. They are just all lumped together. So if you are also needing to make sure you entered them in the right sub-account, you have to do that prior to hitting that Reconcile button.
