Show Beginning Balance on Statement of Activity Report

My beginning balance is correct and reconciled. It does not show on the Statement of Activity Report. If I look at the registry:

  • the date is the same month I started entering
  • The Ref Type is Deposit
  • The Payee Account is Opening Balance Equity should this be something else?
  • The Memo is Opening Balance should this be something else?
  • The Payment is (Blank) should this be my opening balance?
  • The Deposit is (my opening balance)
  • The checkbox is (R)
  • The balance is (my opening balance)

A QB Expert reviewed this input with me, but I didn't ask about it appearing on the SoA Report.

Show Beginning Balance on Statement of Activity Report

The opening balance won't appear in your Statement of Activity report, because this report focuses on providing a detailed view of your revenue, expenditures, and net income through individual transactions, @FRTSGV1. I'm here to guide you on how to access the information.

 

To view your opening balance, I recommend running a Statement of Financial Position report. This financial statement offers a snapshot of your company's financial condition at a specific date, including your opening balance. It functions similarly to a balance sheet for for-profit entities. Here’s a visual guide to help you:

 

 

If you did not enter an opening balance during the reconciliation process, I suggest checking this article for guidance: What to do if you didn't enter an opening balance in QuickBooks Online?
