Reconciliations & Month-end

Prove every month against the bank, sign it off and close the books.


Reconciliations & Month-end:

How reconciliation works

ZeraBooks checks every account, month by month, against the bank's own statement. Here is what the three checks are and what every dot on the timeline means.

Reconciliations & Month-end:

Fix a month that doesn't tie

When a statement and your ledger disagree, the month shows an orange ! on the timeline. Here is how to find the difference and fix it, usually in a minute.

Reconciliations & Month-end:

Verify a statement with AI

When a statement doesn't tie, ZeraBooks can re-read the original document line by line and propose only the fixes that make it tie. You apply them with one click.

Reconciliations & Month-end:

Finalize a month

Finalizing signs off a month that ties, recording what you verified and when. Here is how to finalize one month, or every tied month at once.

Reconciliations & Month-end:

Reopened months and removing a sign-off

A finalized month reopens on its own when its checked numbers change. Here is how to see what changed, remove a sign-off, and finalize again.

Reconciliations & Month-end:

Close and reopen the books

Closing the books locks every date on or before a day, so nothing reconciled can change by accident. Here is how to close through your reconciled month, and how to reopen.
