POS Daily Sales Import & Reconciliation

Q: Can automation handle multiple payment methods in one reconciliation?

Yes, automation extracts and matches cash, card, and digital payment totals separately, then reconciles each method against corresponding bank and processor records.

Q: Will existing reconciliation data be affected when automation starts?

Automation works alongside your current accounting records without overwriting them. The bookkeeper reviews and approves all journal entries before posting.

Q: What happens if a transaction is missing or delayed?

Automation identifies missing or delayed transactions and flags them for follow-up. The bookkeeper can then contact the payment processor or investigate timing issues.

Q: Does automation work with multiple client locations?

Yes, automation can retrieve and reconcile POS data from multiple locations simultaneously, applying the same reconciliation rules to each site.

About This Automation

Daily POS reconciliation requires bookkeepers to manually extract sales data from multiple systems, compare totals across bank and payment processor statements, and create journal entries. Manual reconciliation is time-consuming, error-prone, and delays month-end close by days.

Automation retrieves POS, bank, and processor data automatically, matches transactions against reconciliation rules, and flags discrepancies for review. Bookkeepers gain same-day reconciliation and spend time only on exceptions.

Key features:

Retrieve daily sales reports from POS systems automatically

Pull bank deposits and payment processor settlements in real time

Match POS totals to bank and processor records using reconciliation rules

Flag variances and discrepancies for manual review

Prepare reconciliation data for journal entry creation
