Correct Beginning Balance to Reconcile

Hello! I have recently discovered, as I am taking over our company's finances, that our beginning balance to reconcile an account is currently not matching the bank. Unfortunately, I also discovered no one has been creating Opening Equity Balances, so I cannot simply edit that. I've tried to follow a tutorial from QB to change the beginning balance, but the steps and options they outline are not appearing on my QBO account, even though I have full access, so I'm wondering if it's outdated? What is the easiest way to rectify this situation and reconcile accounts with an incorrect beginning balance? Is my only option to create a journal entry to offset and reconcile the beginning balance, or is there a better and more efficient way to resolve this? Please help!
