Question

I had support remote into my QB yesterday to correct a customer's record, now my bank opening balance is off & can't get anyone to help. It was correct before.

I can't get anyone competent to help, they have messed up my GL every single time that I have had them help. The opening balance was correct the other day, now it is off by almost $200K. I am new to the online version & have had several significant issues since the migration. Every online chat made the issues worse. Any suggestions?

We appreciate your time in reaching out to our support, Sara. I'll further guide you so you can fix the discrepancies with your balance. 

 

QuickBooks tracks all your opening balances for all your accounts in an Opening Balance Equity account, it's the only entry that is reconciled - R

 

In this case, we can check if your opening balance in the register matches your bank records. To do this, we can sign in to the bank's website and find your bank statement. Then, if the opening balance in QuickBooks doesn't match your bank records, we correct it:

 

  1. In QuickBooks, select the opening balance entry to expand the view.
  2. In the Deposit column, edit the balance for it matches your bank records.
  3. Select Save.
