Reconciliation means matching what’s in your books with what’s in your bank, credit card, or merchant account statements. It ensures:
- No duplicate or missing transactions
- Real cash balances
- Accurate profit/loss reporting
Test Case
A consulting firm hadn’t reconciled their QuickBooks accounts in 14 months. Once we stepped in:
- We found $11,000 in unrecorded income
- Removed duplicate entries inflating their expenses
- Rebuilt year-to-date financials in less than 10 days
IRS & Tax Context
The IRS requires accurate books for Schedule C, 1120, and 1065 filings. Unreconciled accounts may:
- Miss deductible expenses
- Overstate profit
- Trigger audit red flags due to discrepancies
