Bank reconciliation is the process of matching what your accounting records say against what your bank actually shows. Done monthly, it keeps surprises out of your year-end.

Why bother?

The three steps

  1. Pull your bank statement for the period.
  2. Match each line to an invoice or receipt.
  3. Investigate anything that doesn’t match.

Dori automates steps 2 and 3 — you confirm matches instead of hunting them.
