Accounting Reconciliation Agent

The Problem

Every month, finance teams sit down to match transactions across bank accounts, sub-ledgers, intercompany accounts, and payment platforms. They export data from multiple systems into spreadsheets, apply VLOOKUP formulas or manual matching logic, and work through the exceptions one by one. For organisations with high transaction volumes or multiple entities, this process can take days. Errors in reconciliation can cascade into incorrect financial statements, audit findings, and in regulated industries, compliance issues. It is painstaking work that nobody enjoys and everyone wants to finish faster.

How It Works

The agent connects to your accounting platform and bank feeds, pulling transaction data from both sides. It applies matching rules you define, handling exact matches, partial matches, and one-to-many relationships. For transactions that do not match, it categorises the exception type, such as timing differences, missing entries, or amount discrepancies, and presents them in a structured report. Your team reviews the exceptions and resolves them rather than spending hours finding them in the first place.

What Changes at Month-End

The grunt work goes away. Instead of spending the first week of each month in reconciliation mode, your finance team gets a pre-matched dataset with a clear exception list on day one. The agent works with platforms like BlackLine and Xero, and it maintains a full audit trail of every match decision for your auditors. For organisations running MYOB or Xero, the integration is straightforward. If month-end reconciliation is eating into your team’s capacity, our robotic process automation services can help you reclaim that time.
