Reconciliation and Exceptions
Reconciliation and Bookkeeping Exceptions at Volume
The routine ninety-nine per cent is handled from each client history. Your team sees the exceptions, with the evidence already attached.
The problem
Bookkeeping volume rises with client numbers, and most of it is repetitive: the same suppliers, the same categories, the same matches, month after month.
The exceptions are what need a person, but finding them means going through everything else first.
What the system does
- 01Matches invoices and receipts against payments in and out.
- 02Categorises routine transactions from each client history and your own rules.
- 03Escalates genuine mismatches with the evidence attached, rather than a queue to work through.
- 04Learns from corrections, so the same exception does not come back every month.
The numbers it moves
- Exceptions per 100 transactions
- The share of work that still needs a person, tracked month by month.
- Clients per fee earner
- Bookkeeping volume stops setting the ceiling on how many clients a team can carry.
How it is proven
Every automated decision is logged with the rule and the history behind it, and corrections are recorded so the effect is visible next month.
Questions
- What happens when it is unsure?
- It stops and asks. Anything below the confidence you set is escalated rather than posted, and the file records why.
- Does it work across different bookkeeping systems?
- Yes. Clients sit on different systems in most practices, and the work is built around that rather than assuming one platform.
- Who is responsible for the numbers?
- Your team, as now. The system does the repetitive matching and brings you the exceptions; the file is still reviewed and signed off by a person.
