Hi there, @erroneous.
Allow me to share some insights on how to fix your balance in QuickBooks Desktop.
Opening balance are reconciled transactions in your Bank register. To help fix it, you'll have to manually change the transactions as Reconciled.
To do so, please follow these steps:
- Go to your Banking menu.
- Select Chart of Accounts.
- Choose your preferred account.
- Put a check mark under the Check column in line with the transactions to mark it as reconciled.
However, if you have an adjustment made as a Journal Entry, you'll need to mark this as Reconciled in order for the transaction to affect the Reconciliation Opening Balance.
Also, possibly that you've reconciled transactions that aren't supposed to be reconciled. Thus, I suggest reviewing them, and then marked as checked and unchecked when in doubt.
