Hi there, 

 

Reconciliation is an important part of running your small business. Each time you reconcile an account, you start with a beginning balance in QuickBooks. This is the amount in the account on the first day of the time period you're reviewing. Think of it as a checkpoint. It tells you if you're starting with accurate numbers. 

 

If your colleague has made changes to previously reconciled transactions, it will certainly impact the beginning balance on your December reconciliation. Don't worry, you can fix this easily. 

 

First, take a look at this article: About beginning balance discrepancies, This article explains how you get beginning balance discrepancies in QBO. 

Next, to fix this, follow the steps here: Fix beginning balance issues if you've reconciled the account in the past QuickBooks Online

 

This will help you sort this out. If you're still in need of assistance, please reach out to our tech support team

 

Cheers.
