Hi and welcome to another Budget Ease broadcast.
Today we're talking about an essential aspect of bookkeeping for small businesses, bank reconciliations.
Ensuring your financial information is correct is critical and reconciling your bank statement is the foundation of that process.
This involves comparing your business transactions and balances with the bank to your financial software.
Too often when we take on a new client, we find that bank reconciliations haven't been done for years and the result duplicate or missing transactions that distort the true earnings as well as the correct balance in your bank and credit card accounts.
The main goal of reconciling your bank statements is to make sure that the recorded balance of your business in the bank agrees with what's in your financial information.
Here are 6 reasons why you need to reconcile your bank statements each month.
First, validate entry.
Reconciling your bank statement helps you spot any irregularities, such as entering wrong amounts, duplicating entries, or other data entry errors.
Confirm the accuracy of the financial statements.
Does your financial statement match the banks?
Maybe the bank made a mistake.
It's rare, but it happens.
Accurate tax reporting.
Reconciling your bank statement is essential for generating a correct tax return.
Enables you to monitor your cash flow.
Is the flow of money in and out of your company telling you anything you need to adjust in your budget or financial planning?
You can identify irregularities.
Reconciling highlights any discrepancies between your financial statement and the bank statement, such as an outstanding check or an electronic transfer.
And lastly, maybe most importantly, it controls theft.
It can prevent employees or others from stealing from your company.
Clients often ask me when I use the bank feeds, why do I have to reconcile to the bank statement?
We often find omissions in the bank feed that are caught when we reconcile the statements at the end of each month.
When you use the bank feed, which we recommend reconciliate.
Reconciliation just takes seconds.
Once finished with the bank reconciliation, examine on reconciled transactions immediately for errors and fix them quickly.
