There may be a better way but this is what I did last year.

I kept the old file set and ran reconcile against it when the checks
cleared.  However this would not ballance because some things have
hapened that are not recorded last year.  I think I then took the amount
of mismatch and wroter it down.  Then I finnished the reconcile in the
current year.  Again there is a mismatch but they should be the same.
When all of last years transactions finaly cleared I made an adjustment
somewhere and reconcile worked fine for the rest of thins yerar.

It is a little messy but it beat ballancing the thing by hand.
