Bank reconciliation
Autessa Accounting includes bank reconciliation: Bank reconcile proves your books match the bank. Choose the account, enter the statement date and ending balance, tick every line that cleared, and finish when the difference is $0.00. An uploaded statement fills the balance and date in for you.
The problem
Books that never meet the bank statement
Without reconciliation, a missed or doubled transaction can sit in the books for months. Reconciling each account against its statement every month is the check every accountant expects, and it is fast when the statement is already in the app.
What you get
- Reconcile any bank or card account in the chart of accounts.
- Starting balance, statement ending balance, cleared total and difference side by side.
- Tick off cleared lines until the difference is $0.00, then finish.
- Filled in from your uploaded statement, including statements uploaded for reconciliation only.
- Finishing asks for confirmation and records the reconciliation.
