balance discrelpancy

Thank you. I will review the document you provided. One thing I forgot to say is that my QB reconciles perfectly every month. Just that my ending balance is way off compared to same date on bank statement. I'll let you know how the recommended "fix" works out.

I did consider those items and after adding up pending payments, etc. balance is still off by more than $1000. Is it safe to REMOVE "unreconciled" entries from past years through perhaps 2019? Or, are those not a factor? 

Thank you.

P.S. I feel like I should hire a QB Certified advisor to connect remotely and review my situation and perhaps help me move from QB Pro 2015 to Quicken since I no longer have a business use thus I only use QB Pro as my "checkbook."

Thanks for following up with the Community, dobeluvr.
 

If transactions aren't reconciled, deleting them won't change your reconciliation balance. It's often suggested to void a entry, instead of removing it entirely. Doing so keeps a record of the transaction data with a zero amount.
 

Since removing records can impact financial reporting, I'd recommend working with an accounting professional to confirm if you should delete/void your unreconciled entries.
 

If you're in need of one, there's an awesome tool on our website called Find an Accountant. Each ProAdvisor listed there is QuickBooks-certified and able to provide helpful insights to drive your business's success.

4. Browse through the results and find one that works best for your business. You can access each ProAdvisor's profile to learn more information about them.
