Like thousands of other customers using Quicken 2016 or 2017, Quicken stopped syncing with my bank after the software update in May. I want to change my Quicken reconcile method from 'Online Balance' to 'Paper statement' because I really don't like Quicken's idea of reconcilliation (more below). 
However, Quicken warns against this for various reasons, most of which don't seem that good to me. When you balance, or reconcile an account, you compare your Quicken account records against your bank statement or online balance and, if necessary, resolve any differences between the two. Reconciliation can be affected by transactions that occured in the period shown on your bank statement as well as by earlier transactions.
For example if your current credit card balance is 1476.62, and the balance shown in Moneydance is 27.65, then enter 1476.62-27.65 (use the minus sign) in the Initial Balance field and hit enter. Moneydance will automatically calculate the proper Initial Balance.

If you reconciled your account last month and this month you came to reconcile and the beginning statement balance this month does not match the ending statement balance from last month there are a limited number of possible causes. • You modified the amount of a transaction that was already marked as cleared.
• You deleted a transaction that was already marked as cleared. • You manually cleared a transaction in the intervening time. • You deleted a category that contained cleared transactions.
Deleting a category deletes all transaction that use that category. • You deleted an account that had transfers to or from the account you are reconciling. Deleting an account will delete all transfers that use that account. • You changed the 'Initial balance' on the account under Account->Edit Account.

• You manually marked a cleared transaction as uncleared. • You had the option under File -> Preferences -> Network 'Mark transactions as cleared when confirmed' checked and then performed a download and confirmed transactions, automatically clearing those transactions If you have done any of these things it can be quite tricky to track down the cause of the change in cleared balance, although clicking the 'Uncleared' filter may make it easier to see if you've accidentally uncleared an old transaction. The only way to fix such a problem is to go over the register and your old back statements and see if you can find anything that has changed. If the discrepancy is relatively small it might be simpler to enter a new transaction (Categorize it 'reconcile discrepancy') and clear that transaction. Create hanging in dent in indesign. Some people find it helpful to enter a dummy transaction with a zero amount and enter a description stating what the cleared balance was on this date as a marker they can refer back to later.
