Steps to Reconcile your Accounts in QuickBooks Online

Here's a general guide on how to reconcile your accounts in QuickBooks Online:

Step1: Gather your monthly bank or credit card statements, whether online or paper

·         Make sure the opening balance in QuickBooks matches your bank account balance for the period being reconciled.

·         Check if all transactions are matched with previously entered ones or categorized and added if they haven't been entered yet.

·         QuickBooks will try to avoid duplicates by matching downloaded transactions with previously entered transactions. You need to approve the match if this happens.

Open QuickBooks and select the account you want to reconcile from the Account menu.

·         Make sure the Beginning balance in QuickBooks matches the balance on your account statement.

·         Set the Ending balance and Ending date to match those shown on your statement (some banks or providers might refer to this as the Closing balance).
