Move an aged reconciliation toward closure
An old difference is not resolved merely because it is carried forward. We help finance teams rebuild opening totals, group unmatched receipts by cause, trace supporting evidence and assign decisions to authorised owners.
Work is performed alongside staff who understand the licensing register and bank channels. The output is a working reconciliation with transparent status codes—not a parallel spreadsheet that only an outside reviewer can interpret.
Typical work
- validate the opening balance and identify unsupported carry-forwards;
- separate timing, allocation, duplicate, reversal and potential shortage items;
- document evidence required for write-off, reallocation or further investigation;
- define ageing rules and named ownership for remaining exceptions;
- coach the responsible preparer and reviewer through the next close.
Management retains all approval decisions. We do not erase unsupported items, approve journals on management’s behalf or guarantee that missing evidence can be recovered. Pricing depends on backlog age, record accessibility and the number of payment channels.
