Can I automatically bring previous end of year's balance/cash in bank into my budget as part of our income for the current year .

Thanks for laying out the details of your concern, Philgranger. I'll share additional insights about the budgeting feature of QuickBooks Online (QBO).

I recognize the convenience of adding your previous year's data to your current year's budget could be helpful to you and your business. There's no way to automatically bring in your year-end cash balance in QBO.

While this feature is unavailable, I recommend sending your feedback to our Product Development Team so they can review it and consider implementing it in the future. Here's how:

1. Go to the Gear icon at the top.
2. Select Feedback.
3. Enter your comments or product suggestions.
4. Then select Next to submit feedback.

Additionally, you can read through this article to learn more about editing, deleting, or running a report to keep track of your budget goals: Create budgets in QuickBooks Online.
