What is Automated Cash Reconciliation?
Managing high volumes of financial transactions can be time consuming and prone to error when done manually. Automated cash reconciliation simplifies this process by intelligently matching transactions, often with a click.
Bank statements can be imported directly into the system, significantly reducing manual data entry and saving valuable time. A built-in notes feature also allows teams to quickly identify and resolve any discrepancies. Additionally, flexible matching rules can be tailored to suit your business needs, ensuring transactions recorded by the bank align accurately with those in your internal cash book.

Types of Cash Reconciliation
The approach to cash reconciliation varies based on an organisation’s structure and financial requirements. Here are some common methods:
Daily Reconciliation
Performed at the close of each business day, this method is essential for companies with frequent cash transactions such as those in retail or hospitality to maintain accurate, up-to-date records.
Weekly or Monthly Reconciliation
Conducted less frequently, this method offers a broader perspective on cash movements. It supports financial planning, reporting, and helps in identifying long term trends.
Project or Department-Specific Reconciliation
This involves reconciling cash flow within individual teams or projects, allowing for a detailed understanding of financial activity in distinct areas of the organisation.

Minimised Errors
By reducing manual data entry, automated systems significantly lower the chances of human mistakes.
Lifted Efficiency
Automation accelerates the reconciliation process, enabling real-time updates and easing the workload of finance teams.
