The process

How Numble's reconciliation works

1

Diagnose the file

We review the accounting software, bank balances, reconciliation history, transaction volume, and obvious red flags.

2

Identify the problem periods

We figure out where things stopped matching and which accounts need attention.

3

Reconcile accounts

We compare bank and credit card statements to the books and resolve the differences.

4

Clean up transactions

We correct duplicates, miscategorizations, old balances, transfers, and missing entries.

5

Prepare a cleanup summary

You get a plain-language summary of what was fixed, what is still outstanding, and how to avoid the same issue going forward.

Getting started

What we need from you

You do not need every item ready to reach out. We start with what you have.

  • QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, or accounting software access
  • Bank statements for the affected periods
  • Credit card statements
  • Loan or line-of-credit statements
  • Prior reconciliation reports, if available
  • Receipts, invoices, and bills
  • GST filings, if relevant
  • Year-end financial statements, if available
  • Context for owner draws, transfers, and large unusual transactions
Pricing

Cleanup priced to the file

Reconciliation cleanup is quoted based on the state of the file and how far back the issues go. We review it first, then give you a clear quote. Pricing depends on:

  • Number of accounts
  • Number of months unreconciled
  • Transaction volume
  • Condition of the software file
  • Number of duplicate or missing transactions
  • Whether receipts and documents are available
  • Whether GST, payroll, or corporate tax is affected
  • Whether ongoing bookkeeping will continue after cleanup
No surprises

Request a reconciliation review

Give us access or send the file, and we will tell you what is going on and what it will take to fix, with no obligation.

Most cleanups end with a move onto monthly bookkeeping, so the file stays reliable.

Which page is right?

Reconciliation cleanup, or full catch-up?

If the issue is mainly unreconciled accounts, duplicate transactions, or balances you cannot trust, this is the right fit. If you are also behind on GST, corporate tax, payroll, or CRA filings, start with Cleanup & Catch-Up Accounting instead. Not sure? Reach out and we will point you to the right one.

FAQ

Reconciliation questions, answered

What is bank reconciliation?
It is the process of matching the transactions in your accounting records to your bank and credit card statements, so your books reflect what actually happened.
How often should accounts be reconciled?
Monthly is usually best for small businesses, because it catches errors while they are still fresh and keeps your reports trustworthy.
Can you reconcile accounts that are months behind?
Yes. We can work through older periods and identify what is missing, duplicated, or recorded incorrectly.
Can you fix QuickBooks bank feed duplicates?
Yes. Duplicate bank feed entries are one of the most common cleanup issues, and one we fix often.
Will reconciliation fix my GST?
It can help, but GST may need its own review if past filings were based on records that did not match.
Can you clean up after another bookkeeper?
Yes. We review the file, identify the issues, and clean up the records before ongoing bookkeeping continues.
What if I am missing statements or receipts?
We start with what you have and build a clear list of what is still missing.
