Hi red,

 

Thanks for reaching out here.  Making sure you have an opening balance is key in keeping your accounts balanced.  QuickBooks Desktop provides options to enter an opening balance for bank, credit cards and other account types.  I'd be glad to help!

 

You can enter an opening balance for real-life bank accounts that already exist, or are newly created in QuickBooks.  Here's a helpful guide with the options, so you can select the best fit for your business needs.

 

Should you require additional assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us.  It would be our pleasure to work with you directly and ensure you're able to accomplish your QuickBooks goals as soon as possible!

 

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out again.  We're always happy to assist!
