Choose the starting point carefully
Use the balance at the point you begin tracking. If the balance already includes an old transaction, recording that same transaction again will change the balance a second time.
Account and display currencies
The starting balance is recorded in the account currency. Your preferred display currency does not convert balances. Choose the correct currency before you start recording transactions.
