Commission Tracking & Reconciliation

Q: Can the automation handle commission statements from different lenders in different formats?

Yes. The automation learns to recognize and extract data from multiple lender statement formats, converting them all to a standard structure for matching and recording.

Q: Will existing commission data in our spreadsheet and accounting system be affected?

No. The automation works with your existing data and adds new commissions going forward.

Q: How does the automation know which deal a commission belongs to?

It matches the deal ID from the lender statement against your accounting and CRM records. If a match is unclear, it flags it for your team to confirm.

Q: What happens when a commission payment is overdue?

The automation monitors commission age and alerts your team when payments exceed 30 days unpaid, so you can follow up with the lender promptly.

Keep every broker commission accurate and reconciled without hunting through spreadsheets and lender portals.
