GST registration was painless. They asked for documents, did the filing, and shared the certificate within a day. We were back to selling without the usual portal back-and-forth.
Reconciliation Automation a clean match is not a correct month

What We Check Before Filing
These pages now explain the review layer behind the service, not just the price.
Review layer checks the error classes a matched bank balance cannot detect
Processor payouts split into gross, fees and refunds rather than booked net
Exception items carry an age and escalate rather than accumulating silently
The Reconciliation Trap in an Automated Ledger
Reconciliation answers one narrow question: does the ledger agree with the bank. It is a necessary check and it is routinely mistaken for a sufficient one. A fully reconciled month can contain an inter-account transfer booked as revenue, an owner draw sitting in operating expenses, and a vendor deposit recorded as income — and reconcile perfectly, because none of those errors change the bank balance. Both sides moved together.
This is why automation changes the risk profile rather than simply reducing it. Manual books announce their errors: the reconciliation will not close, and someone has to investigate. Automated books present a tidy, fully matched statement, every transaction coded, nothing flagged. The error is still there. It is just no longer accompanied by a symptom.
So we automate the matching, which is genuinely mechanical and where the time goes, and we build a review layer that checks the categories a matched balance is blind to. Transfers, draws, clearing accounts that should net to zero and do not, revenue that moved without a corresponding change in activity, expense categories that shifted materially against prior periods. Then a named person signs the month off.
Who Needs This Service?
Benefits
Matching Automated
The mechanical majority of reconciliation runs automatically. That is where the hours actually go, and it is the part machines do well.
Review Layer On Top
Explicit checks for the error classes a matched balance cannot detect — transfers, draws, clearing accounts, unexplained revenue movement.
Exceptions That Age
Unresolved items carry an age and escalate. Exception queues fail when items can sit in them indefinitely without anyone noticing.
Close on a Date
A checklist with a named owner and a target date, so the close finishes on a schedule instead of whenever the queue happens to empty.
How it works
A clear step-by-step process. Done by experts, on your behalf.
Connect and Baseline
All accounts and processors connected, then we reconcile a historical month manually to learn where your specific mismatches come from.
Automate Matching
Feed matching configured, including processor payouts where gross sales and fees arrive as a single net deposit.
Build the Review Layer
Checks for transfers, draws, clearing-account balances and period-over-period variance — the errors matching cannot see.
Reviewed Close
Monthly close runs to a checklist with a named sign-off, and a report of what was found and fixed.

Automation does not fix bad books — it scales them
The failure mode nobody selling automation software wants to open with: an automated ledger fails quietly. Manual books announce their errors through an unreconciled difference that will not close. Automated books hand you a tidy statement containing a confident wrong number. The bank balance matches, every transaction is coded, nothing is flagged, and the profit figure is still wrong because an inter-account transfer was posted as revenue and both sides balanced.
That is why we treat chart-of-accounts design and a categorisation review loop as part of the automation work rather than a prerequisite you handle first. A rule that codes 400 transactions a month correctly is worth building. The same rule pointed at a badly structured chart of accounts miscodes 400 transactions a month, reconciles cleanly every time, and nobody notices until a tax preparer asks why owner draws are sitting in operating expenses.
What we check that matching cannot
Inter-account transfers, because a transfer booked as income inflates revenue and expense simultaneously and reconciles cleanly. Owner draws and contributions, because they are balance-sheet movements that automation routinely codes to the profit and loss. Clearing and undeposited-funds balances, because they should net to near zero and a growing balance is an early symptom of systematic miscoding.
Then period-over-period variance on every material account. Not because a change is wrong, but because an unexplained change is worth a question — and asking that question monthly is how you find a miscoded rule in week three rather than at year end. None of these checks are exotic. They are simply not what reconciliation does, and automation makes it easier to believe reconciliation was enough.

Frequently Asked Questions
If the books reconcile, are they correct?
No, and this is the most consequential misunderstanding in automated bookkeeping. Reconciliation confirms the ledger agrees with the bank. It cannot detect an error where both sides moved together — an inter-account transfer booked as income, an owner draw coded as an expense, a customer deposit recorded as revenue. All reconcile perfectly. A correct month requires a review layer on top of reconciliation, not reconciliation alone.
Why does automation make reconciliation errors harder to catch?
Because it removes the symptom. Manual books announce problems through an unreconciled difference somebody has to chase. Automated books produce a fully matched statement with everything coded and nothing flagged, so a wrong number arrives looking exactly like a right one. The failure is quiet, and quiet failures survive to year end.
How do you reconcile payment processor payouts?
Processors typically deposit net — gross sales less fees, refunds and chargebacks — as a single figure. Recording that net amount as revenue understates both revenue and expenses and makes gross margin meaningless. Correct handling splits the payout into its components, which requires pulling processor-side detail rather than working from the bank line. This is one of the most common sources of quietly wrong e-commerce books.
What is a clearing account and why does it matter?
A clearing or suspense account holds transactions temporarily while their final treatment is determined, and it should net to roughly zero at close. A clearing balance that grows month over month is one of the most reliable early indicators that something is being systematically miscoded. We monitor it explicitly, because it is a symptom that appears before the consequences do.
Does cash versus accrual basis affect this?
Significantly. QuickBooks detail reports always default to accrual, and the Statement of Cash Flows has no cash-basis option at all. If your books use journal entries in place of invoices and bills, cash-basis reports become badly unreliable. Any reconciliation and close process has to be explicit about which basis it operates on, and we set that up front.
Who signs off the close?
A named person on our side, and the report tells you who. This is the deliberate difference from tool-only automation: you are buying a month somebody reviewed and stands behind, not a pipeline that ran without error. If the close is wrong, there is a person accountable for it.
