FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this feature

How do I start a bank reconciliation?

Go to Reconciliation, select your bank account, enter the statement ending date and balance, then match transactions to your statement. Mark each as cleared when it appears on your statement.

What if my balance doesn't match?

ChurchFinance shows the difference between your records and the bank statement. Review outstanding transactions, check for missing entries, and look for amount discrepancies to find the issue.

Can I reconcile multiple bank accounts?

Yes! Each bank account has its own reconciliation history. Reconcile checking, savings, petty cash, and other accounts independently.

What happens after I complete a reconciliation?

Transactions from that period are locked to prevent changes. A reconciliation record is saved with timestamp and user. You can generate a reconciliation report for your records.
