Bank Reconciliation
Match your books to the bank statement. October 2026
Reconciliation is just checking that what you wrote down matches what the bank shows. Tick off each item that appears on both. When everything matches, the difference is $0.00 — and that's financial peace.

Fix the items below one at a time and watch the difference shrink.
Found a duplicate expense of $145.00
You recorded the same $145.00 lash-supplies purchase twice. A duplicate is a book error — delete one copy from your books. It is not an outstanding item, because the bank only paid it once.
Found a missing bank fee of $12.00
The bank charged a $12.00 service fee that is on the statement but not in your books yet. Record it so your books agree with the bank.
There's a difference of $133.00.
Don't worry — this is normal. Most differences are a missing fee, a deposit that hasn't cleared, or a duplicate you can delete. Fix the items above one at a time.
