What to know first
A repeatable checklist to reconcile faster and reduce month-end surprises.
- Start from the original bank PDF and validate period plus balances.
- Convert to Excel or CSV before reconciliation, categorization, or audit support work.
- Use bank guides or the sample-output page when your process depends on one specific format.
A fast reconciliation process is less about the tool and more about a consistent checklist that catches mismatches early.
