What reconciliation actually catches
Reconciliation compares every transaction in your bookkeeping records against your bank and credit card statements. It catches data entry mistakes, duplicate charges, missed transactions, and bank fees that slip past unnoticed. Left unchecked, these small errors compound over months and make your financial statements unreliable.
How often we reconcile
We reconcile accounts monthly as a standard practice, which keeps errors small and easy to fix. For businesses with higher transaction volume or multiple accounts, we can adjust the schedule to match how your business actually operates.
Questions about bank & credit card reconciliation
Why does bank reconciliation matter if my books already look fine?
Books can look complete and still contain errors that only show up when compared against actual bank and credit card statements. Reconciliation is the step that confirms your records match reality, not just that they look organized.
How often should reconciliation happen?
Monthly reconciliation is standard and catches problems while they are still small and easy to fix. Waiting longer makes errors harder to trace and correct.
Can reconciliation catch fraud or unauthorized charges?
Yes. Comparing every transaction against your statements is one of the fastest ways to spot a charge that should not be there.
Do you reconcile multiple bank and credit card accounts?
Yes. We reconcile as many accounts as your business uses, so every account ties back to your books.
