I also have a question on adding accounts. I want to do it manually, not by connecting to my online accounts. It seems this would be an obvious feature but I cannot find anything other than through my banks. Thanks in advance.
I'll show you some of the steps to help you bring in your bank data manually into QuickBooks Self-Employed.
In QuickBooks Self-Employed, manually adding a bank account is done through an Excel file. Generally, you'll want to download your transactions from your bank's website, and upload them to your Self-Employed account.
Here's a step-by-step process:
Download a CSV file of the bank transactions you want to import.
In your Self-Employed account, go to the gear icon.
Select Import transactions.
Click the import transactions link.
Browse for the file and map your fields.
Though, you can always enter those transactions manually by going to the Transactions page, clicking the Add transaction button, then entering the details.
If you need more help about the bank import process, I'm sure this article will shed some light on your concerns: Add older transactions to QuickBooks Self-Employed (works for recent transactions as well).
I've got you covered if you have more questions about the Online Banking feature or any other features in Self-Employed. Just reply here and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
