Let me share some insights on how to change the ending balance on a reconciliation, @gardneraircraft.

 

If you're referring to the ending balance you entered when you began the reconcile process, we can change these numbers. Simply follow these steps below:

 

  1. On the reconcile screen, click Edit info.
  2. Change the Ending Balance.
  3. Choose Save.


 

If you mean changing the ending balance of your reconciled bank statement, this process requires manually unreconciling individual transactions. Before doing so, take note that this can unbalance your accounts and can affect your beginning balance for your next reconciliation.

 

To begin, let's review the previous reconciliation report. Here's how:

 

  1. In QuickBooks Online (QBO), select the Reports menu.
  2. Search for Reconciliation Report in the field.


  3. Select the Account you want to view.
  4. Choose your preferred date in the Report period drop-down arrow.
  5. Click View Report.

Once done, you can now unreconciled the previous statement and change the ending balance. For additional info, please refer to this article: Undo and remove transactions from reconciliations in QuickBooks Online.
