How can a beginning balance of a safe/account be added when expenses/ transfers have already been registered?

I can help you with that, julia-de-graaf-g.

If your accounts are missing an opening balance, you can now create a journal entry to enter the balance. I'll show you how:

1. Click the + New button.
2. Select Journal entry.
3. Enter a date that comes before the oldest transaction in the account. 
4. On the first line from the Account dropdown, select the account you want to enter the opening balance for.
5. Add a note in the Description field so you know what the journal entry is for.
6. On the second line from the Account dropdown, select Opening Balance Equity.
7. Use your bank statements to enter the balance of your real-life account for the date you picked. If your balance is positive, enter it in the Debit column. If your balance is negative, enter it in the Credit column.
8. Enter the debits and credits based on the type of account you entered on the first line, then click Save to complete the process.
   
    
   • Asset (savings and checking) and expense accounts: Enter the opening balance in the Debit column on the first line. Then, enter the same amount in the Credit column on the second line.
   • Liability, equity, and income accounts: Enter the opening balance in the Credit column on the first line. Then, enter the same amount in the Debit column on the second line.
   • Accounts Payable: On the first line in the Name field, select the supplier you owe money to. Enter the opening balance as a credit to increase the balance. Or enter the opening balance as a debit to decrease the balance. Then, enter the same amount in the opposite column on the second line.
   • Accounts Receivable: On the first line in the Name field, select the customers who owe you money. Enter the opening balance as a debit if you want to increase the balance. Or enter the opening balance as a credit if you want to decrease the balance. Then, enter the same amount in the opposite column on the second line.

After that, manually mark the journal entry as reconciled to prevent it from showing up on your future reconciliation:

1. Go to the Accounting menu.
2. Select Chart of Accounts.
3. Find the account holding the transaction, then click View register from the Action column.
4. Search for the journal entry you just created, then select it to expand the view.
5. Review the Check mark column, then keep clicking the empty box until you see an R.
6. When you're done, hit Save.
