Bank and credit card reconciliation in QuickBooks

A reconciliation is the proof that your books agree with your bank. When it will not balance, the difference is telling you something. We find the cause, correct it, and document the result.

Signs you need this

• The difference on the reconcile screen will not go to zero.
• The account has never been reconciled.
• A past reconciliation's beginning balance changed on its own.
• Old checks and deposits have been sitting uncleared for months.
• The bank feed matched some transactions twice.
• Statements are missing for part of the period.

How we do it

1. Confirm the starting point

   The opening balance is checked against the prior statement, since a wrong start causes most stubborn differences.

2. Match to the statement

   Every transaction in QuickBooks is matched to the statement for the period.

3. Investigate differences

   Changed or deleted entries, duplicates, transposed digits and timing items are each traced and resolved.

4. Correct the cause

   Problems are fixed where they began, and we keep a record of what changed and why.

5. Document the month

   Each reconciled period is complete before the next one begins.

What you receive

• Accounts that agree to their statements, month by month.
• An explanation of every difference we found.
• Old uncleared items resolved, not left to linger.
• Confidence that your balance sheet cash and card balances are right.

Common questions

Why does my reconciliation difference keep coming back?

The usual causes are a transaction edited or deleted after an earlier reconciliation, a duplicate from a bank feed, or a wrong opening balance. We trace which one applies.

What if I am missing statements?

Most banks keep statements available online. We tell you which months are needed, and we work with what you can provide.

Do you reconcile loans and payment platforms too?

Bank and credit card accounts are included in standard pricing. Loans and sales platforms such as Shopify, Amazon, Stripe or PayPal are reviewed and quoted personally.
