Yes, Cyn6, there are ways to fix your beginning balance and show your missing transactions in QuickBooks Desktop, Cyn6.
An incorrect beginning balance is due to one of the following reasons:
- No balance or an incorrect balance was entered when the account was set up.
- Previously cleared and reconciled transactions were voided, deleted, or modified.
- The file was converted from a different version of QuickBooks.
- Possible data damage.
To correct this, we can create a journal entry or adjust the opening balance to ensure it matches the bank statement. However, it’s always best to consult your accountant to ensure the accuracy of your financial records.

Missing transactions may not appear in QuickBooks for the following reasons:
- They were never imported or entered in QuickBooks from your bank account.
- When importing transactions using Bank Feeds or Web Connect, the date range may have been incorrectly set to start in April instead of January.
- Some transactions could have been downloaded but remain in the Bank Feeds Center, waiting to be added or matched.
To verify, go to your account register and ensure you selected a proper date range when downloading bank transactions. Review also if they need to be categorized or added to the register.
If transactions from January to March were not imported, you can use a CSV file to upload them into QuickBooks. Once imported, verify and categorize these transactions to keep records accurate.
