Our process
Review of Bank Statements
We begin by reviewing your bank and credit card statements for the relevant period. This helps us understand your cash activity and ensures we’re working with complete and accurate information.
Matching Transactions
Each transaction in your accounting software is matched against your bank statement. We ensure income and expenses are correctly recorded, dated and allocated to the right accounts.
Investigation of Discrepancies
If discrepancies are identified, we investigate and resolve them. This may include correcting errors, identifying missing entries or clarifying unusual transactions with you.
Final Review & Reporting
Once reconciled, we complete a final review to confirm balances are accurate. We provide updated reports and ensure your records are ready for BAS, financial reporting or further bookkeeping work.
