1. Missing or Duplicate Transactions​

One of the most frequent problems during reconciliation is missing or duplicate transactions. This can occur if you’ve manually entered a transaction that was also downloaded from the bank feed, or if something was deleted by mistake.
Don’t waste hours searching—call 855-749-2321 for help fixing transaction issues!

Solution:

Use QuickBooks’ “Find Match” feature when categorizing bank feed items to avoid duplication. For missing transactions, check the bank register and audit log to ensure nothing was deleted or misdated.

2. Uncleared Transactions from Previous Periods​

Old, uncleared transactions can accumulate if checks were never cashed or payments were entered incorrectly. These can throw off your balances and make reconciliation nearly impossible.
Struggling with old entries? Call 855-749-2321 for expert cleanup help!

Solution:

Review each uncleared transaction. If it's still valid, keep it. If not, void or delete it after confirming with your accountant. Also, reconcile monthly to prevent buildup.

3. Incorrect Opening Balance​

Your entire reconciliation can fall apart if the opening balance is wrong. This often happens when you first connect a bank account or when changes are made to already reconciled transactions.
Don’t let a wrong opening balance ruin your books—call 855-749-2321 for help!

Solution:

Verify your opening balance with your bank’s actual starting balance. If needed, update it in the account setup and check for any deleted transactions from past reconciliations.

4. Bank Feed Mismatch​

Sometimes the transactions shown in QuickBooks differ from what’s on your bank statement due to syncing issues, delays, or timing differences.
Confused by mismatches? Call 855-749-2321 for immediate troubleshooting!

Solution:

Always reconcile using your bank statement, not just what’s in QuickBooks. For syncing issues, try disconnecting and reconnecting the bank feed. Be sure to back up your data first.
