How do I reconcile a previous month's bank statement. How can I change the date of an opening balance of a previous month instead of a current month date?

Hi Arbutus,

Welcome to the Community. Being able to reconcile your account is essential to ensure that your books are up to date.  QuickBooks Online is a great program that offers the ability to simply track your sales and expenses. I'd be glad to help.

If this is your first reconciliation for the account, I encourage you to review the following articles.

• Enter and manage opening balances in QuickBooks Online (edit the date and the opening balance)
• Reconcile transactions that are older than your opening balance in QuickBooks Online
• Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online
   

If you've already reconciled the account, I encourage you to reach out to an accountant. They'll be able to point you in the right direction to keep your books balanced. If you don't have an accountant, you can find one near you by clicking on My Accountant on the left navigation menu> and then Find a pro to help.

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out here.
