01 — The challenge today
Where the
time goes.
- Reconciliation is still manual ticking: bank line by bank line, GL entry by GL entry — the same process every month.
- Exceptions get buried in a spreadsheet with no clear record of what's unresolved and why.
- Each period must be evidenced from scratch; prior-month match patterns are never reused.
- Staff time is consumed on exact matches that could be automated in seconds, leaving less capacity for judgement.
02 — How the agent works
It acts —
not just answers.
Close on day three, with the checklist already ticked. Every month end your team re-runs the same sequence for each client: reconcile the banks, clear the suspense account, chase approvals, check the cut-off, assemble the pack. A close agent runs that sequence as a checklist with teeth, and reports exactly what is blocking and who owns it.
Reads the bank feed and GL in parallel and clears matches on the first pass, with the match basis recorded.
Applies exact matching first, then reference-pattern matching for partial or delayed postings — the same logic your best preparer uses, every time.
Surfaces exceptions with suggested resolution paths and supporting context — unposted to the ledger until a reviewer approves.
Works the month-end checklist for every client in parallel, chases the approvals, and drafts the client pack with variance commentary.

04 — Getting started
Proof in
four weeks.
We would rather prove one use case properly than describe five. Pick the process that hurts most — we will run it on your existing client data in four weeks.
Week 1 · Scope
One process, one team, one measure. Agree what “better” means — in hours, days or cost — and measure it before anything changes.
Weeks 2–3 · Shadow
The agent runs alongside your team on live work, with a person approving each action. Its output is compared honestly with what your team produced anyway.
Week 4 · Measure
Report against the baseline, agree the guardrails that stay and document what your team owns. Then decide whether the next process follows.
Three operating principles
Principle 01
Acts inside your systems
Works where the work already is — your core systems, documents, inboxes and channels. No new tool for your team to copy things into.
Principle 02
Bounded by your rules
Limits are set per process: what the agent may do on its own, what needs human approval and what it may never do. Anything outside the boundary goes to a person.
Principle 03
Reviewable and reversible
Every step is logged — what it read, what it changed, who was notified and when. Evidence you can use in audit and compliance reviews.

Questions,
answered.
The short answers buyers ask us most about the Bank Reconciliation Agent.
What does the Bank Reconciliation Agent do?
Matches transactions in seconds, surfaces only the exceptions and leaves a complete signed-off trail — not a morning of manual ticking. Reads the bank feed and GL in parallel and clears matches on the first pass, with the match basis recorded. Applies exact matching first, then reference-pattern matching for partial or delayed postings — the same logic your best preparer uses, every time.
Which problems does it solve for Accounting & Audit teams?
Reconciliation is still manual ticking: bank line by bank line, GL entry by GL entry — the same process every month. Exceptions get buried in a spreadsheet with no clear record of what's unresolved and why. Each period must be evidenced from scratch; prior-month match patterns are never reused. Staff time is consumed on exact matches that could be automated in seconds, leaving less capacity for judgement.
What business value can we expect?
A complete, time-stamped reconciliation working paper: every match basis, every exception, every approval. Audit-ready on completion: nothing to reconstruct later. Exceptions, not noise: your team only sees what needs judgement. An earlier, calmer close: across the whole client portfolio.
Does a person stay in control?
Yes. The agent works within limits you set for each process: what it may do on its own, what needs human approval and what it may never do. Every action is logged, reviewable and reversible.
How quickly can it be deployed, and where does it run?
Most teams start with a four-week pilot: scope one process in week 1, run the agent alongside your team with human approval in weeks 2–3, and measure the results against the baseline in week 4. It works across Bank feed · Ledger · Practice system, and can be deployed in the cloud, hybrid or fully on-premise.
