Tips for year-end reconciliation in QuickBooks Online
by Intuit• Updated 5 months ago
Reconciling your accounts checks them for accuracy. If you've never reconciled your accounts, or if you don't reconcile them regularly, you should reconcile all of your accounts by the end of the year to prepare for tax season.
If you're new to reconciling or have issues, start with our reconciliation guide.
Here are a few things to keep in mind for year-end reconciliations:
- Get all of your bank and credit card statements together before you start. If you don't have them all, get them from your bank's website or contact your bank directly.
- Your bank and credit card statements are the source of truth. QuickBooks should always match them, not the other way around.
- Always start with your oldest bank statement, or where you last left off reconciling. Then reconcile each month, one at a time. The order matters. If there's an issue with an earlier reconciliation, it affects all reconciliations going forward.
- If you have a lot of transactions to reconcile in QuickBooks, you may not see them in a single window. Use the search and filter features to narrow down the list.
Now you're ready to start. Here are detailed steps for how to reconcile your accounts in QuickBooks Online.
