I've got your back on reconciling accounts in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @tsullivan28.

 

There are some possible reasons why your beginning balance is incorrect. Here's a list of some of them:

 

  • Someone entered an incorrect opening balance when you created the account in QuickBooks.
  • Someone adds transactions that are older than the opening balance and doesn't edit the original entry to reflect the change.
  • When you connect your accounts, QuickBooks enters the opening balance for you. Missing or duplicate transactions may affect the opening balance.

To fix an incorrect beginning balance, you'll want to perform several steps so you can start reconciling again. Below is the step by step process:

 

Step 1: Review the opening balance entry in QuickBooks

Step 2: Compare the balance to your real-life account

Step 3: Review your account register

Step 4: Start reconciling again

 

For the detailed steps and information on each process, here's an article you can read: Fix beginning balance issues during your first reconciliation in QuickBooks Online.
