Hi there
 
Thank you for your reply.
 
I am looking specifically at the Bookkeeping tab.
 
I'll try to explain this a little better, so with Monzo you can have pots of money specifically for 'bills', 'savings' etc which is within your account, it's the amounts in the pots I cannot see in the totals. For example if these were my numbers:
 
Bank balance (as shown in QuickBooks) £100 which is also the right amount in the front end of monzo). But I also have more money separated into pots, for example:
Pot 1 (in Monzo) - £200
Pot 2 (in Monzo) - £300
But I know overall I have a total balance of £600 but £500 of that are stored in 'pots'
 
Hope this makes more sense? I can only see the "£100". Is the only way to have an accurate bank balance is to take everything out of the pots?
Thanks

Thanks for getting back to us with that detailed explanation, mhcgarwood-gmail. 🙂

 

The pots feature is not supported in QuickBooks as these are not individual accounts with their own account numbers, instead, QuickBooks will read the current balance of the actual account. You could create individual savings accounts in QB for these, and transfer funds from the main account to this with No VAT, however, the 'in QuickBooks' balance for the main account will then not match your real-life balance, and would cause difficulties reconciling.
