Select the account you wish to reconcile from the pull down list of accounts.

The last date the selected account was reconciled will appear here.

Enter the statement date that appears on your bank statement.

Enter the ending balance that appears on your bank statement.

The number that appears here is the account's balance before reconciliation.

If this field contains a value other than zero, you may have errors in your records. As you compare your entries with the bank statement, those errors will probably become apparent.

Click the Browse button and select the bank statement file to upload from your computer. Express Accounts can only load files in .csv or .ofx format. Click Next to load the statement into the Reconcile Account window.

Express Accounts will compare your local ledger with the bank statement and will match transactions for reconciliation to save you time. In your local ledger list (the list on top), reconciled transactions will be checked off and highlighted in green. Items that remain unmatched in your local ledger list may contain errors.

Items that appear in the bank statement list (the lower list), but not in your local ledger list can easily be added. Select the entry from the bank statement list and click the Add Transaction button. The transaction will be added to the local ledger list and will display as a reconciled entry.

In the bank statement list (the lower list), entries that appear in red are highlighted as possible recurring transactions. If you select the entry and click Add Transaction, the entry will be added to the local ledger list, and will be automatically added to the local ledger list every time a bank statement containing the entry is loaded to the Reconcile Account window.
