Other finance apps are like medieval torture devices, so full of features you don't need that they're actually painful to use. Maybe you can help her get there by explaining that the reports aren't really worth much if the information that's being used to build them is missing to begin with.What does CheckBook do? "Where does all my money go?" A paper check register can't categorize your transactions or report cash flow over time, and it'll never balance itself. If you can get her to agree to at least synch the accounts she's trying to reconcile, it will make it much easier to reconcile and keep things in synch going forward. If she started in '09, I probably would not try downloading the transactions again. Just enter the transaction as an adjustment. I agree with denny2000 that you should make a reconciling entry in Quicken that gets her accounts to their balances. If not, repeat until I find where I screwed up. If I did it all correctly, they'll match. Takes about 5 minutes (at worst) for multiple cards and bank accounts. The only ones I actively work to reconcile are the mismatched or missing transactions. Everything that shows as matched I pretty much ignore.

Once a month, I'll reconcile to the statements.

This has been seamless with my bank accounts, occasionally there's a glitch with a credit card and I have to wait until the next time I'm on to synch that account. It's also when I can see the ones I forgot to enter at all. This is when I fix the typos by dragging the posted transaction onto my entry. Once the data has synched, I take a look at the transactions to see what the differences are.

I synch my Desktop with the accounts whenever I think about it.

(Unless she's really anal, I would guess she's at that rate or lower for entering transactions). Sometimes I typo, sometimes I completely miss one. I like to think I get them all, but I'm probably about 90% at entering them all. I do that mainly so they get categorized at that time.

I enter my transactions manually, as they occur.

I have a budget setup and all my accounts are linked. I can describe my process, with the pros and cons.

Is there anything we can do to 'start fresh' from January 1st this year or ideally to completely resolve this issue?Īny advice or tips would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

The last time I tried to reconcile, the difference was too much so we never completed the reconcile and have just been trying to figure out how to resolve this issue while still entering new transactions from her ledger. When reconciling, it tries to start from the date that I downloaded the transactions from the bank, even though we've reconciled past that point. The Quicken balance still doesn't match up the difference is hundreds of dollars. That balance became her new ledger balance. Recently, I took her online banking balance and figured which checks were still out and subtracted them and any pending transactions from that balance to get the most accurate balance of what she really has. She is against making more adjustments at this time (understandably so). I've been helping her for a few years now and we've made a few adjustments in Quicken in that time. She is more artistically minded than mathematically/computer minded.

She insists on manually entering her transactions (I showed her a couple years ago that she could download them from her online banking and she still resists but I also think that it threw a bit of a wrench in the gears as far as reconciling goes). I'm no expert in Quicken and even less so for MacOS. I help a friend with her bookkeeping and she uses Quicken for MacOS.
