How to change an ending balance on a reconciliation

I understand the urgency of being able to correct your reconciliation ending balance in QuickBooks Online (QBO), saugy1.

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), changing or adjusting a reconciled transaction will affect your beginning balance for the next reconciliation. To fix this, you'll have to remove the R status of the reconciled transaction before making any changes.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Accounting menu, then select Chart of Accounts.
2. Find the account and select View Register.
3. Review the check column. If the transaction is reconciled, you’ll see an “R.”
4. Select the box and keep clicking it until it's blank. It removes the transaction from the reconciliation.
5. Hit Save. Then close your register.
   

I've added here an article that will help you in case you encounter reconciliation issues: Fix issues when you're reconciling accounts.

However, If you need to start over, I'd suggest reaching out to your accountant. They can undo the entire period at once using QuickBooks Online Accountant.

Here's how to invite your accountant:

1. Go to the Gear icon and select Manage Users.
   
2. Click the Accountants tab.
3. Enter the accountant's email.
4. Select Invite.
   
5. Let your accountant undo the entire reconciliation.
