Match the books to bank evidence.
A recorded receipt or payment is not proof that money settled. LedgerBeaver brings imported bank activity and accounting records into a review workflow so your team can confirm matches, investigate differences, and keep the evidence behind each decision.

Reconcile what the evidence supports
A clean reconciliation comes from explaining the differences between the books and the bank, not hiding them.
Start from both sides
Use supported bank transaction imports and the posted books. Compare dates, amounts, counterparties and available references. A likely match is a review aid; it is not a settlement claim until the bank evidence supports it.
Keep differences actionable
Surface unmatched transactions, duplicate possibilities and amount differences for review. Resolve the source issue or record a supported correction instead of forcing the reconciliation to zero.
Close with a traceable result
Retain who reviewed the match, what evidence was used and what accounting record was affected. Reports should reflect posted ledger activity and disclose unresolved differences rather than inventing a clean result.
Reconciliation questions
Recorded activity and suggested matches still need the bank evidence that supports settlement.
Does connecting a bank let LedgerBeaver move money?
No. Bank connectivity supplies transaction evidence for supported workflows. Transfers remain in your bank.
Is every suggested match automatic?
No. Suggestions help narrow the review. Your team confirms the evidence and handles ambiguous or partial matches.
Can I treat a recorded customer receipt as settled cash?
Only after it is supported by actual bank or provider evidence and reconciled to the recorded receipt.
