Hi there! I'd like to provide you with some detailed information and processes for importing the previous year's bank transactions into QuickBooks Online (QBO), @pradassheppard.
It's important to note that QuickBooks Online (QBO) does not have a built-in feature that allows for the manual import of a Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss reports. However, we can obtain transactions from your bank or credit cards and manually import them into the program to ensure all your financial data is accurately recorded. Here's how:
- Go to the Gear icon on the top menu and select Chart of accounts.
- You can also choose Chart of accounts from the Transactions tab in the MENU ▼.
- Next, search for the bank or credit card account you want to upload the transactions into.
- Click View register.
- Find and write down the date of the oldest transaction. Usually, the oldest transaction is the opening balance.
For a comprehensive understanding of the import process, I recommend referring to this article: Manually upload transactions into QuickBooks Online. This resource provides a detailed list of processes for importing transactions in QuickBooks Online, including the necessary steps to follow.
