In initially setting up QB account, a checking account was manually set up and transactions have been recorded from there. as bank transactions. However, these transactions have been made from cash on hand and only now a bank account has been successfully + set up for the business.

I'd be pleased to help you undo the recorded transactions and ensure to reflect them as cash in QuickBooks Online, Nickessa.

 

To ensure your financial records are accurate, we can delete the recorded transactions and re-enter them making sure to reflect them as cash transactions.

 

Here's how to delete the transactions:

 

  1. Click Accounting in the left panel and choose Chart of Accounts.
  2. Find and locate the checking account, then click View register.
  3. From the Bank Register, click the transactions and tap the Delete button.
  4. Hit Yes.

 

Once deleted, we can refer to this article: Manually add transactions to accounts in QuickBooks Online. This will provide us with steps from entering to editing transactions from the account register in QuickBooks Online.

 

Feel free to drop me a reply below if there's anything else you need, Nickessa. I'd be more than willing to lend you a hand.

there are months of transactions that were recorded that way, from the start of the year, including the start up capital. 

 

Is deleting and re-entering all the transactions the only way to go?

 

Reconciliation has been done for up till July. How will deleting the transactions affect that?

I appreciate your quick response, Nickessa. Also, thanks for the additional information. 

 

I recognize that you have previous transactions that were already reconciled. Yes, deleting previous transactions will affect your accounts and transactions and mess up your data. Still, deleting and re-entering transactions is a way to remedy this scenario. 

 

We can consult your accountant before doing it. They also share other ways how to handle this without deleting them. To find an accountant, let's follow these steps:

 

  1. Go to the Find-a-ProAdvisor website.
  2. Enter the specific location, service, and product.
