Commission Tracking & Reconciliation

Q: What happens if a commission doesn't match a policy in our system?

The automation flags the unmatched commission for your team to review and investigate, ensuring no invalid entries slip through.

Q: How does the automation prevent duplicate commission entries?

It scans the commission ledger and compares incoming data against existing records, blocking duplicates before they reach your accounting system.

Q: Will our existing commission data be affected by the automation?

No. The automation works with your current ledger and accounting records; historical data remains unchanged and serves as the baseline for matching.

Q: How much manual work remains after automation is live?

Your team reviews exceptions and discrepancies flagged by the automation, and approves the month-end reconciliation report; routine extraction and verification are eliminated.

Accurate commission records without the monthly scramble through carrier statements and mismatched policy data.

About This Automation

Commission tracking requires manual extraction, verification, and reconciliation of statements from multiple carriers in different formats. This repetitive work consumes significant finance team time and creates opportunities for duplicate entries and missed discrepancies.

Automation extracts commission data from any statement format, matches it to policies, detects duplicates, and flags exceptions for review. Month-end reconciliation shifts from manual compilation to a quick review of auto-generated summaries.

Key features:

Extract commission data automatically from PDF, CSV, and email statements in any carrier format

Match commissions to policies and verify legitimacy against your accounting system

Detect duplicate entries and flag amount mismatches before they reach your ledger

Generate month-end reconciliation reports with totals and outstanding items

Route exceptions and discrepancies to the right team member for investigation

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Commission Statement Receivedtrigger

Automation detects a new email from a known carrier address or a file uploaded to a monitored folder.

2. Extract Commission Data

Parses the statement file (PDF, CSV, or email body) and extracts policy numbers, commission amounts, payment dates, and carrier name into structured fields.

3. Look Up Policy in QuickBooks

Automation queries to find the matching policy record and retrieve invoice details, name, and expected commission amount.

4. Check for Duplicates

Compares the extracted commission against the existing ledger to detect duplicate entries or prior payments.

5. Match Found and No Duplicate?

If policy is found, amount matches, and no duplicate exists, proceed to record. Otherwise, flag for manual review.

6. Record Commission in QuickBooks

Automation creates a new transaction with the correct account coding, policy link, and assignment.

7. Update Commission Ledger

Automation appends the new commission record ledger with status, date, and reconciliation flag.

8. Notify

Automation sends a summary notification to the finance team confirming the commission has been recorded and reconciled.
