Good morning, @graphicsetc

 

Thanks for reaching out. How's your day going so far? I hope all is well. 

 

You can use a Journal Entry to create an adjustment so that your books can balance. However, please know that it is always best to consult with your accounting professional before making any changes to your account. Your accountant can review your books and advise the best way to record the adjustment. 

 

If you don't have an accountant, don't sweat it. You can find one here in our Resource Center

 

For now, I wanted to include some steps to help you create a Journal Entry. Here's how: 

 

  1. Tap on + New.
  2. Choose Journal entry.
  3. On the first line, select an account from the Account field. Enter the amount in the correct column if you need to debit or credit the account.
  4. On the following line, select the other account you're moving money to or from. If you entered a debit or credit on the first line, enter the same amount in the opposite column.
  5. Check the amounts - you should have the same amount in the Credit column on one line and the Debit column on the other. This means the accounts are in balance.
  6. Enter information in the memo section, so you know why you made the journal entry.
  7. Select Save and new or Save and close.
