Our company started with QB Desktop and switched to Online years ago.  The records were all brought over up to about 2012, when for some reason, the previous bookkeeper went back to using Desktop.  Fast forward...I am now starting fresh and trying to reconcile credit card and bank statements.  I only have the last 7 years, so there is a gap between the last records in our system that I will not be able to recreate. 

How do I create a "date in time balance" (i.e. the starting balance from the statements I do have vs what QBO shows as my QB balance)?  When I try to reconcile, I cannot change the starting balance, and I do not want any reconciliation adjustment to be in the current year when it is do to errors at the start.
