# How to Add Opening Balances for Existing Client/Vendor Accounts in Refrens

If you have already added your clients or vendors on Refrens and want to record their outstanding balances, you can easily do so by adding an **opening balance** to their existing account.

This ensures that any amount your client owes you, or any amount you owe your vendor, is accurately reflected in Refrens — so your ledgers/statements, outstanding reports, and overall books remain **accurate and up to date.**

###### Steps to Add Opening Balances

1. ** **Navigate to **Left Menu** → **Accounting** → **Chart of Accounts**

2. Search for the desired **Client/Vendor** using the **Account column filter** option.
