What you just read

This is the whole deliverable, not a preview of it.

Two months, chained

February and March 2024 for one checking account. February closes at 17,439.55, which is the opening balance March starts from. Closed periods have to tie into each other, not just into themselves.

The tie-out is the proof

Opening balance plus every line we read equals the ending balance the bank printed, to the cent. A month that does not reach it is labelled not tied out and never reported as finished.

Flags are stated, not hidden

A paper check prints a number and nothing else, and a payment to a person could be labour or a draw. We say our confidence is below 75% and let you pick the account. Try one above: the reports recompute as you go.

Every figure traces

Click any line on the profit and loss, or trace on any ledger row, and the printed statement line appears with the arithmetic it feeds.

The handoff is a file

Export CSV above is the ledger a preparer imports, with the cover lines a CPA reads first. The same export ships with a real close.

Now read your own month instead of ours.

Send one bank or card statement. We close that month free — no account, no bank credentials, no card. The rest of your months are a fixed price from the public table, starting at $499.
