Once all cash revenue and receipts are recorded the Petty Cash balance should equal the amount of cash on hand. You would then need to add in to QB all expenses paid from cash just the way you do all other expenses but choose Petty Cash as the bank account. If you were to retroactively correct the account, you would record all cash sales in QB (through sales receipts or invoices) and deposit to the cash account. Otherwise you are under-reporting revenue which an audit would find. You should record all sales revenue received from cash. However, that is not the way you should go about it. If you're looking to simply account for it moving forward you would create an opening balance through a JE that debits the new bank account and credits opening balance equity for the 15k. On type select Cash on Hand and name it Petty Cash or Cash on Hand.
