Finance automation

Bank Reconciliation

Imports bank feeds, matches transactions with ledger entries, flags duplicates and mismatches, and sends exceptions to finance for review with suggested fixes.

The business problem

Matching bank statements to accounting records line by line is one of the most time-consuming finance tasks. Errors and missing entries go unnoticed, delaying month-end close. Unreconciled items can hide fraud or bank charges.

The manual process today

Where the time goes before automation:

  1. Download bank statements as PDF or CSV
  2. Tick off each transaction against the ledger
  3. Investigate unmatched items by email
  4. Prepare a reconciliation report in Excel
