In Quickbooks balance vs bank balance

If I take my In QuickBooks Bank Balance and subtract the transactions in my bank feed that have not yet been added, should that equal my bank balance?  Is it that simple?

 

Thank you!

In Quickbooks balance vs bank balance

Yes, Acct42MB. I can provide relevant information to keep your account balances current and help you understand how reconciling works in QuickBooks Online.

 

Please note that the balance shown in QuickBooks should match the actual balance in your bank account. Subtracting transactions on the For Review tab from the QuickBooks balance is not a basis for verifying if the balance will be the same as the bank balance (Actual). This is because transactions that are pending review and have not yet been added to QuickBooks do not impact the QuickBooks balance.

 

It is essential to perform bank reconciliation and match individual transactions to ensure that the QuickBooks balance accurately reflects the bank balance. This practice is crucial for maintaining precise financial records and ensuring the integrity of your financial data.

 

For an additional overview:

 

Bank Balance - actual bank balance of the account from the last bank feed update.

QuickBooks balance - the sum of all bank transactions that are added or matched.

For Review - Transactions in the bank feed that have not yet been added

In line with that, regular monitoring and recording are recommended to enhance the accuracy of your financial records without discrepancies or errors and ensure both account balances are aligned.
