Hi there FreddieM2,

 

It's important that all your account balances are accurate so that your books can be well balanced. QuickBooks Desktop is a great tool able to help you keep track of sales and expenses in order to see the profit of your business. I can provide some information about opening balances.

 

In order to enter the opening balance, you can follow the steps in this article. As that would be a liability account, you would need to follow the steps in the Asset, liability, and other types of accounts section of the guide.
