Hi Steven!

You may've found your answer already, but in case you haven't here, hopefully this will help.

QB is very special, because it creates an "Opening Balance Equity" account, which is useless. More often than not, someone makes an adjustment to correct it. You are that person this time.

IF the funds you entered as the opening balance for the checking account are unrestricted, then yes. Simply make a journal entry moving the opening balance from the OBE account to your Unrestricted NA account. This will bring the OBE to zero and you'll be able to reconcile your net assets.

If you've any questions, feel free to ask!
