merge 2 quick books databases

I have a Quick Book database that the accountant update last week but our business office processed a lot of checks while the accountants were working on the database. Is there a way to merge both database so we don't have to re-enter the data the business office or the accountants entered. Quick books 2014.
Thank you.

The only way it's possible to merge two QuickBooks databases back together is if the copy you sent to your accountant was an Accountants Review copy (.QBX - compressed copy) (.QBA - extracted copy) If this is the scenario, then yes, changes can be imported.

If what you sent to your accountant was just a copy of your QuickBooks working file (.QBW) or a QuickBooks created backup (.QBB) then there is no way to merge the two together. You can shorten the time you have to spend by entering a journal transaction to make everything balance as of a certain date, but I'd suggest you ask your accountant to help you with that.

More likely than not, all of the changes your accountant made to your file will be in the form of Journal entries at certain dates. These are relatively easy to reproduce and your accountant will be able to just give you the required entries to bring your QuickBooks working file up to date with a minimal amount of time needing to be spent.

Hope that helps.
