Every month, every bank line matched and just the exceptions left

Cash reconciliation takes finance teams 20 to 50 hours a month. We match every bank line to your books and send back just the items that need a person, already investigated, with the likely reason.

One report each month, with every open item explained

At the end of each period you get one report: what matched, and a short list of what didn’t, each with what we checked and the likely reason.

The four largest open items:

  1. Book

    Stripe payout · $12,118.30

    Matches 41 charges. The $361.92 difference is Stripe fees not booked yet. Suggested: merchant fees.

  2. Duplicate

    AWS · $2,113.40, debited twice on 3 Mar

    One invoice, two debits. No refund in the bank yet. Worth raising with the vendor.

  3. Receipt

    Wire from Northwind Ltd · $8,000.00

    No open invoice for this amount. Likely an advance against their April order.

  4. Open 34 days

    Deposit · $450.00, reference “ADJ”

    Checked invoices, refunds and transfers. Bank statement notes suggest an interest correction.

  • Every bank and processor

    Several bank accounts, Stripe, PayPal and the rest, matched in one place.

  • Investigated, with a reason

    Every open item says what we checked and what it most likely is.

  • You decide what’s booked

    Each item comes with a suggested entry. You book it, or send it back with a note.

Reconciling accounts is the slowest part of the close, and most of it happens in Excel

That’s what finance staff told Ledge in its month-end close survey. Cash reconciliation alone takes 20 to 50 hours a month.

  • 50%

    say Excel is why their close is slow

One SaaS finance manager told Ledge it takes “30+ hours each month”.

We investigate the lines that don’t match straight away

Bank feeds clear the easy lines. These are the ones that sit in a spreadsheet until someone has an afternoon free.

We run it for you to start, and more gets matched as it happens

We start as a service run by our team. As we learn your matching patterns and recurring adjustments, an agent takes over more of the matching and investigates the exceptions.

How Brevlan compares with what finance teams use today

Bank feeds and reconciliation software auto-match what they can, and the open items still land on someone’s desk. Each month we hand back every unexplained item, including those open more than 30 days, already investigated.

We do

Send us last month. We’ll reconcile it.

Pilot teams get one month reconciled as the opening deliverable: every bank line matched, and every open item explained.

  • Companies with 50 to 500 staff
  • Several bank accounts or payment processors
  • Finance managers and controllers who reconcile by hand today

Common questions

Bank feeds or statement exports for each account, your payment processor reports, and access to your accounting books.

Our team, from month one. Each month we learn more of your matching patterns and recurring adjustments, so more lines are matched as they come in.

No. We take the line-by-line matching off their desk and hand them the items that need a decision, with the reason already found.

They stay on the list with everything we checked, so whoever picks them up can start from our notes.

We’re setting pricing with our pilot teams. Join the waitlist and we’ll share it before you connect anything.
