Quickbooks desktop converstion to QBO

I have a client where I did a conversion from Desktop to QBO.  Because of this we had some pretty significant variances with different accounts:  Income, Cost of goods sold, A/P, A/R and Undeposited funds were the main ones affected.  These were affected mostly because bills and invoices came over, but were also recorded on the cash basis when the expenses/income hit the bank account.   Anyways.........as a result, I have $100,000 that I'm not exactly sure what to do with.  This is the balance after zeroing out A/P, A/R, and undeposited funds and changing the income and the cost of goods sold to reflect their true amounts.   I just created an equity account called "QB Desktop to QBO Conversion" and dumped it here.  Is there something else I should do with this?

Quickbooks desktop converstion to QBO

Greetings, Denny.

 

I'll be glad to share insights about converting data.

 

There are some things you'll need to know when switching from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.

There will be missing transactions and the reports will not match.

 

If you're using a cash basis accounting, the reports may not necessarily match. This is because QBDT and QBO don't consider transactions the same way.

 

I'd suggest consulting your accountant for further guidance on how to zero out the account.

 

Here's what to expect when you switch from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.
