Question

New to Quickbooks - how to get started

Hi everyone, 

I'm after some help please. I'm new to QuickBooks but have a little understanding of Accountancy as I've completed my AAT level 2. As this was quite some years ago, I'm a little rusty to say the least! 

I've connected my bank to QuickBooks but have noticed that the dates shown on the bank feed (where I categorise my transactions), doesn't appear to match the dates on the bank statement (I haven't even gotten to reconciliation yet). 

I wondered why this may be happening and how I resolve it. 

I'd also like some advice on how to handle transfers within accounts as I thought that I'd recorded this correctly but the balances on the accounts appear to be off. 

Is it best for me to work through the bank statements and amend/add any transactions that are incorrect or missing? 

Ideally, I'd have attended a training course but obviously due to the current climate this hasn't been possible. 

If any of you lovely people are able to help I'd very much appreciate it. 

Many thanks!

Hello Maryanna, Welcome to the Community! We would recommend using the reconcile tool to help you to work through the bank statement and look for any missing/incorrect transactions more information on that tool is available here.  The dates of the transactions should match as long as they are not pending transaction dates on the bank side. Which bank is that with? We do have some help videos and webinars available here as well for any topics and you can ask any questions here and both QuickBooks and pro advisors and other users do generally comment on the threads.
