Reconciliation

1-Reconciliation Project:

  • The Goal is to reconcile all clients' accounts up to last month using Statements* before the 15th of the Current month!

Best Practice

➡️ Always start with less complicated clients and gradually move to the more complex ones.

➡️ If there is an issue with the reconciliation (other than a disconnected account or missing statements), reach out to your manager! Create a task for them, send a Slack message, and provide detailed information about the issue.

➡️ Never leave manually added transactions unmatched or unreconciled, except in the case of checks or invoices.

➡️ Always ensure that the bank balance matches the QBO balance at the end of the reconciled period.

➡️ Double-check that the total income and total expenses in QBO match the statements. Sometimes, QBO may give a green light as if the reconciliation is complete, even if the totals don’t match!If there’s a discrepancy, you may need to manually enter or upload missing transactions from the statement into QBO, as they might not have been automatically fed in.

➡️ Always enter the date in the "Reconciled Until" field based on the account reconciled in the earliest month.

For example, if you have reconciled two accounts:

- Account 1 is reconciled until November 30, 2023

- Account 2 is reconciled until February 28, 2023

The "Reconciled Until" date should be February 28, 2023, since it is the earliest reconciled period.

*If a statement is missing, plz report it under Client Issues / Statements
