Hi. Brian and welcome to Gnucash-Users. It would help if you could tell us what you have managed to achieve so far. If you have opened a new file, the wizard walls you through the setup of your account and inserts some standard entries.
The Accounts tab lets you add your own accounts within your structure so for example, Assets:Current Assets:Bank:Current Account1 (for you to define) You will then be Abel to open this account and make an entry for the opening balance which is normally analysed to Equity:Opening Balances I am multi currency so I have several Opening balance entries, one for each currency but Bnucash is extremely flexible and lets you set the accounts up as you like. Let us know if this has helped and if you need more help. Remember there is plenty of excellent documentation to help you with any issues you come across.
