Why reconciliation matters

Reconciliation is the control that finds problems. when it’s skipped or rushed, problems find you later.

a discrepancy between the bank statement and the general ledger is not always a timing difference. it is sometimes fraud. it is sometimes a duplicate payment. it is sometimes a missed transaction that affects the financial statements your clients are making decisions from. reconciliation done properly closes every one of those gaps monthly — before they compound. Pair this with our full bookkeeping service and financial reporting to close the full monthly loop.

Unreconciled accounts mask the true cash position

if a client's books show $50,000 in the bank and the actual balance is $38,000, they are making decisions on incorrect data. reconciliation completed monthly means the discrepancy is caught within 30 days — not discovered when a payment bounces.

Timing differences need investigation, not assumption

outstanding cheques and deposits in transit are legitimate timing differences. but they need to be tracked — if an outstanding cheque from November is still outstanding in February, that's a problem, not a timing difference. our reconciliation process tracks every outstanding item to resolution.

Unreconciled periods compound — fast

a client whose books are 3 months behind on reconciliation has 3 months of errors potentially stacked on top of each other. getting current on a backlogged client takes significantly more time than keeping current takes. we keep current — every account, every month, without exception.

Trust account discrepancies carry legal consequences

for property managers, law firms, and any client holding client funds in trust, a reconciliation discrepancy isn't just an accounting error — it's a potential compliance violation. trust account three-way reconciliation is completed monthly as a non-negotiable part of the engagement.

The reconciliation process

What happens every month — for every account — without exception.

reconciliation isn’t a single step. it’s a sequence of checks that together confirm the books are clean. here is the exact process applied to every account, every month. For larger clients, consider a dedicated staff engagement to keep the process consistent across every period.

Start a reconciliation engagement

Bank statement obtained and period confirmed

bank statement downloaded for the period. closing balance confirmed. period-end date locked before reconciliation begins — no partial-period reconciliations that create confusion in subsequent months.

All transactions matched to the bank statement

every transaction in the accounting software matched against the bank statement. deposits, withdrawals, bank charges, and interest all matched line by line. discrepancies identified and investigated — not assumed to be timing differences.

Outstanding items reviewed and aged

outstanding cheques and deposits in transit from prior periods reviewed. any item outstanding beyond 60 days flagged and investigated. prior-period errors corrected with a clear audit trail.

Discrepancies investigated before sign-off

any unexplained difference between the bank balance and the book balance is investigated before the reconciliation is marked complete. no reconciliation is delivered with an unresolved difference — or with a difference resolved by a forced journal entry without explanation.
