Reconciling an account
Agree your book with a bank statement, to the cent.
Reconciling proves your records match the bank's. Choose Book ▸ Reconcile Account… (⇧⌘R) with the account selected.
- Enter the statement's closing balance and date.
- Tick the transactions that appear on the statement — matching ones are ticked for you.
- When the difference reaches zero, choose Finish.
Finished transactions are marked reconciled and are protected from casual edits. If you need to go back, Re-open Last Reconciliation… returns them to cleared so you can work through the statement again.
