EOFY and Reconciliation
Thanks for coming here, @hypocleaning1-gm.
Let me jump into this conversation and help you fix the discrepancy in your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.
To begin, it's essential to check for any duplicate transactions or edited/deleted entries. However, it's also crucial to review your account's opening balance since it plays a significant role in your financial record. If the opening balance is incorrect, it affects all subsequent reconciliations.
Here are the steps to review your opening balance in QuickBooks:
- Click on Chart of Accounts from the Gear or Accounting menu.
- Find your account on the list.
- Tap on View register.
- Search for the opening balance entry. It should have "Opening Balance Equity" in the Account column.
- Take note of the date and balance.
If you forgot to enter an opening balance, enter it manually using a journal entry.
After reviewing your opening balance, you need to compare it to your bank records. Here's what you need to do:
- Sign in to your bank's website, or find your bank statement.
- Check the account's balance for the same day as the opening balance in QuickBooks.
- Compare the two balances.
If the QuickBooks opening balance doesn't match your bank data, make the following changes:
- In QuickBooks, select the opening balance entry to expand the view.
- In the Deposit column, edit the balance to match your bank records.
- Tap Save.
