The daily balances at the bottom show you exactly what you have put into MoneyWell. If these do not match up with your account balance for that day, then you are missing or have incorrect transactions. You can reconcile an account between two dates without actually reconciling to the current balance. As I said in my other response, the biggest error is not setting up your starting balance transaction correctly. If you don't have a starting balance transaction, follow these steps: 1. Click on your account and then click the Transactions title to select all the transactions 2. Write down the sum shown at the bottom of the window 3. Find out your end of day balance from your bank as of the date of your last transaction 4. Subtract the total in step 2 from the balance in step 3 5. Add a new transaction and date it the day prior to your first transaction 6. Set the payee name to "Starting Balance" 7. Set the amount to the value from step 5 8. Right-click the transaction and set the Bucket Optional flag Now you should be able to select a current transaction, look at the end of day balance at the bottom of the window and it should match your banks balance for that date.
