I'm here to help you enter an opening balance for the bank, Frances15NBS.
You need to set up a GBP bank account so you can enter the journal for the opening balance. Let me show you how:
- Go to Settings ⚙, then select Chart of Accounts.
- Click New to create a new account.
- On the Account Type ▼ drop-down, choose an account type.
- On the Detail Type ▼ drop-down, select the detail type that best fits the transactions you want to track.
- Give your new account a name.
- Add a description.
- Make sure the account in QuickBooks matches your real-life bank or credit card account.
- When you're done, click Save and Close.
-
Once done, create a journal entry for the opening balance.
