Setting opening balances in QB

I am putting the opening balances in QB. When I enter my bank opening balance, QB is entering an equity entry for the same amount. However, I have my own amounts for equity accounts.

Hi Eugene Batalov,

 

Thanks for reaching out here.  It's essential that your opening balance is accurate so you can reconcile your accounts and keep your books aligned.  QuickBooks Online banking feature provides the option to add or edit opening balances.  I'll be happy to provide more insight here so you're able to reach your QuickBooks goals!

 

If you've already created an account, you can create a journal entry for the opening balance.  To assist you with your opening balance, please refer to the following articles that are great to have on hand for future reference as well.
