About This Automation

End-of-day reconciliation compares cash, card, and deposit totals against the day sheet to confirm the practice's books match what was actually collected. Doing this by hand every evening pulls staff away from patients and often surfaces mismatches only after the day is closed.

The automated version pulls card and deposit records automatically, matches them against recorded totals, and flags only genuine discrepancies for review. This gives the team a same-day, confirmed close instead of a manual review the next morning.

Key features:
Pulls card settlement totals and bank deposit records automatically at close of day
Matches cash, card, and deposit totals against the day sheet without manual entry
Flags only genuine mismatches instead of requiring a full line by line review
Logs confirmed totals and variance notes in a shared reconciliation record
Sends a daily summary to the practice owner without manual drafting
Notifies the team automatically once the day is closed and reconciled
