About This Automation Commission reconciliation requires manual extraction of partner statements, lookup of matching contracts and invoices, and verification of amounts against multiple systems.
Automation reads commission statements in any format, matches entries to contracts and invoices automatically, flags discrepancies before posting, and delivers a clean reconciliation report for approval. The finance team moves from data entry to exception handling only.
Key features:
Extract commission data from PDF, CSV, and Excel statements automatically Match each commission entry to contracts and invoices across systems Compare amounts to contract rates and flag variances above a threshold Generate audit-ready reconciliation reports with discrepancy details Post approved entries to accounting software with full traceability Top friction points when done manually The issues teams report most often with this process
# Friction point Companies Report This 1 Manual data extraction from statements
Copying commission entries row by row from PDFs and CSVs with varying formats wastes time and introduces transcription errors.
80% 2 Cross-system contract and invoice lookup
Searching HubSpot and Xero separately for each entry creates repetitive manual work and matching delays.
67% 3 Discrepancies discovered after posting
Manual verification misses variances that are caught only during reconciliation review, requiring rework and audit adjustments.
53% 4 Delayed commission posting
Multi-day manual process pushes posting to 10-14 days, affecting financial reporting and partner reconciliation timelines.
40% 5 Duplicate and orphaned entries
Manual entry creates occasional duplicates and unmatched commission records that require investigation and correction.
