Balance between checking and quickbooks is way off? What am I doing wrong?

All you can do is get the bank statements and start comparing between the two.  Something in QB is missing that is in the bank transactions

Hey there, mikehenry.

I'd be glad to lend a hand so you can get your balances matched up.

As Rustler mentioned, comparing your bank statement to your register transactions in QuickBooks is a sure way to narrow down the differences. I recommend doing this and then completing monthly reconciliations to make sure the balances don't get too thrown off in the future.

I've got a few articles that will help you get started:

• What's a reconciliation?

• Learn the reconcile workflow in QuickBooks

• Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online

I'm just a comment or post away if you have any other questions.
