You've come to the perfect place for assistance, @mhinsures.

 

I can help you update your bank balance in QuickBooks Online.

 

Here's how to enter an adjusting entry:

 

  1. Go to Bookkeeping and select Reconcile.
  2. Reconcile your account.
  3. Click Start reconciling once you have checked everything for errors.
  4. Choose Finish now from the drop-down.
  5. Tap Done.

 

A message stating that your account isn't balanced will then appear. Simply click the Add adjusting entry option to begin. If the difference is negative or positive, this will result in a transaction for an expense or a transaction for an income. It forces the account to balance.
