Reconciling in QBO


Course
Alicia Katz Pollock
Purchase for $27

Reconciliation is how you confirm that your QuickBooks Online checking accounts, savings account, credit cards, and loan balances are correct. If you don’t reconcile correctly every month, your reports will be wrong!

 

Course Description 

Even if you use the QuickBooks Online banking feed, it’s not a guarantee that your bank balances are correct. And when you have extra or missing transactions, your Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet are wrong!

Reconciliation is the monthly step to confirm your checkbook balance, credit cards, liabilities, and loans have been entered correctly. The problem is that most businesses reconcile the transactions that ARE on the statement, but ignore the ones that are not. 

That’s not Reconciling, that’s “reconciling,” and the result is that you may be paying your taxes wrong!

In this class, not only will Alicia show you how to reconcile properly, but she’ll show you how to trick out the interface to finish in seconds instead of hours.

Even better, learn how to identify errors in your accounting data by how they appear in your Reconciliation window. Use reconciling as a troubleshooting tool for duplicated entries, misclassified categories, transactions coded to the wrong funding source, and receipt captures that didn’t match the banking feed.

Take this class and save yourself hours of struggle...and make your reports a thing of beauty.
