Accounting & BookkeepingAccounting & Financial Management4HighBookkeeper$ implied

A bookkeeper needs to correct and reconcile a personal credit card that was switched to exclusive business use mid-year, and the opening balance in QuickBooks includes charges from before the business was paying the card.

QuickBooks does not handle mid-year transfers of credit cards from personal to business use well, especially when the card statement cycle crosses months and the opening balance includes non-business charges.
