Month End Close Process That Drives the Difference to $0.00
Reconciler gives you a close workspace that shows the running difference between your bank, processors, and ledger and shrinks it as you clear exceptions. When the number hits $0.00, both sides are tied out and you are ready to close.
Read-only · Never moves money
In short
The month end close process is the set of steps a finance team runs at the end of each period to reconcile accounts, resolve discrepancies, and confirm the books are accurate before reporting. Reconciler turns the month end close process into a single workspace built to drive the difference between both sides to $0.00. It starts by matching your bank feed, processors, and ledger, then shows a running variance and a clear list of the exceptions still keeping the two sides apart, such as an unrecorded vendor bill or a Stripe fee from payout po_8821 that has not been booked. As your team resolves each item, the difference shrinks toward zero and the workspace tracks who cleared what. This is close the books software that keeps everyone working from the same exception list instead of a spreadsheet emailed around, so a $3,200.00 deposit tied to invoice 1043 stops being a question mark. Nothing auto-posts, and a person reviews and records every correction in your own ledger. The connection is read-only by design, so Reconciler tracks the close and never moves money or writes to your ledger.
What you get
Month-end close, built for finance teams, bookkeepers and controllers
A number that reaches $0.00
The workspace shows the live difference between both sides and shrinks it as exceptions clear, so "closed" means the variance is genuinely $0.00.
One shared exception list
Everyone works from the same close the books software checklist, so the unrecorded fee and the missing invoice 1043 entry are visible to the whole team.
See what is left
At any point in the month end close process you can see exactly which items still separate the bank, processors, and ledger.
Faster close, same ledger
Reconciler removes the manual tick-and-tie so your team closes faster, while your books stay in QuickBooks, Xero, or NetSuite.
How it works
From connected to reconciled in four steps
Connect read-only
Reconciler reads your bank feed, processors, and ledger with read-only access. It never moves money or posts entries.
Open the close workspace
Matching runs first, then the workspace shows the running difference between both sides and the exceptions still open.
Clear exceptions to zero
Work the list item by item, resolving each unrecorded fee, duplicate, or missing entry until the difference reaches $0.00.
Record and close
A person posts each correction in your own ledger, then marks the period closed. Nothing auto-posts.
Questions people ask
Month-end close, answered
What is the month end close process?
The month end close process is the set of steps a finance team runs at the end of each period to reconcile accounts, resolve discrepancies, and confirm the books are accurate before reporting. Reconciler handles the reconciliation part, matching both sides and tracking every exception that is still open.
How long should a month end close take?
There is no universal number, and the honest measure is how long it takes to drive the difference between your bank, processors, and ledger to $0.00. Most of that time goes to reconciling accounts and chasing items that do not tie out, which is the part Reconciler matches automatically.
What belongs on a month end close checklist?
A close checklist covers reconciling bank and processor accounts to the ledger, clearing unrecorded fees and missing entries, reviewing duplicates and wrong amounts, and confirming the variance is $0.00 before you lock the period. Reconciler keeps that exception list in one workspace so the whole team sees what is left.
How can I close the books faster?
Cut the manual tick-and-tie. Reconciler matches your bank feed, processors, and ledger automatically, so your team reviews a short list of real exceptions instead of comparing thousands of rows. Everyone works the same list, the running variance shrinks as items clear, and a person records each correction.
What does a $0.00 difference at close actually mean?
It means every transaction on your bank and processor side has a matching entry in your ledger and every exception has been resolved, so both sides tie out. Reconciler shows that difference live through the close and shrinks it as your team clears items. Nothing auto-posts.
See your accounts tie out
Connect your bank, processors and ledger read-only and reconcile in a fraction of the time. Reconciler matches transactions, flags what does not add up, and explains every match. It never moves money.
