I don't really want to connect to my bank account, but would like to maintain my register, write and record checks, etc. Can I do this without connecting?

You don't have to use the bank feeds feature to update your bank register automatically. You can import the QBO files into your account manually. If your bank only provides other file formats (e.g PDF), you may utilize a 3rd party tool to convert it to QBO.

Yes, you can maintain your register, write and record checks, and other transactions without connecting your bank account. To achieve this, you'll want to manually input and record them in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

To manually add bank transactions, you can download a CSV file from your bank and upload them manually into QuickBooks, Manually upload transactions into QuickBooks Online.

For Checks and other transactions, you can use the + New button above the Dashboard menu. This will show you the list of transactions you can create in the system. It's a one-stop section you can go to if you need to input data in your company.

1. Sign in to your QuickBooks account.
2. Click the + New option in the upper-left corner.
3. Select the transaction you want to create manually. (Example: Check)
