- Identify bank fees or charges you have not recorded
- Verify that your book balance matches the actual bank balance
- Maintain accurate financial reports

Importing Bank Transactions

See Banking for details on importing and managing bank transactions.
Tips
- Reconcile regularly (weekly or monthly) to keep discrepancies small
- Start from the last reconciled date to avoid re-checking old transactions
- Use the unreconciled transaction list to spot items that need attention
