We perform bank, balance sheet, and ledger reconciliations alongside month-end and year-end closing procedures to ensure accurate records and reliable financial reporting.
Reconciliation is the process that catches the errors day-to-day bookkeeping doesn’t — a transaction recorded twice, a bank fee never entered, a balance sheet account that quietly stopped matching reality months ago. Without it, financial statements can look complete and still be materially wrong.
Our Reconciliations, Period-End Closing and Financial Reviews service runs this discipline on a regular schedule: bank accounts, balance sheet accounts, and general ledger balances are all checked against source documents and supporting schedules, with discrepancies investigated and resolved rather than adjusted away without explanation.
At each month-end or year-end, we bring this together into a proper close — accruals and prepayments recorded, depreciation run, and a final review of the numbers before they’re treated as finished, so the financial statements produced from them can genuinely be relied on.
This close discipline is also what makes future audits, funding rounds, or a sale of the business far less stressful — a business with a clean, well-documented reconciliation history can answer due diligence questions in hours rather than weeks.
We also maintain a rolling closing checklist specific to your business, covering every recurring adjustment and review point, so the process doesn’t rely on memory each period — the same standard is applied consistently whether it’s a routine month-end or a more involved year-end close.
For businesses with more complex structures — multiple entities, intercompany transactions, or foreign currency balances — the reconciliation process also has to account for how those pieces fit together, and we build that complexity into the closing checklist from the start rather than treating it as a special case each time it comes up.
Bank statements, ledgers, and supporting schedules are collected for the period being closed.
Every account is checked against source documents, with discrepancies investigated, not just adjusted.
Accruals, prepayments, and other period-end entries are recorded to reflect the period accurately.
A final review confirms the numbers are ready to be relied on for reporting or decision-making.
Businesses that want a disciplined month-end or year-end close rather than numbers that are simply “close enough,” and businesses preparing for external review, audit, or investment due diligence. It also suits businesses that have grown past the point where informal, ad hoc reconciliation is still workable.
We investigate discrepancies rather than adjusting past them — a reconciliation that doesn’t balance is treated as a question that needs an answer, which is what actually protects the integrity of your financial records over time rather than just producing a tidy-looking set of accounts.
Typically monthly as part of a standard close, though this is agreed based on your transaction volume and reporting needs.
We flag it, explain the impact, and agree with you on the correct way to adjust it, including whether prior filings need revisiting.
