ReconcileIQ is an automated bank reconciliation platform that helps businesses and accounting professionals match transactions between bank statements and accounting records quickly and accurately.
Our platform uses advanced matching algorithms to identify corresponding transactions, even when dates, descriptions, or formats differ. This saves hours of manual reconciliation work and reduces the risk of errors.
Key benefits include:
Rapid matching of thousands of transactions in seconds
Intelligent handling of complex scenarios (batch transactions, timing differences)
Clear identification of discrepancies and exceptions
Financial analytics through LedgerIQ (on higher-tier plans)
No software installation required - works entirely in your browser
How does the reconciliation process work?
The reconciliation process with ReconcileIQ follows these simple steps:
Upload Files: Import your bank statement and accounting records (CSV or Excel format)
Map Columns: The system automatically identifies or allows you to specify which columns contain dates, amounts, and descriptions
Process Data: Our algorithm matches transactions between your files
Review Results: See matched items, discrepancies, and suggestions
Export Findings: Download reports of unmatched items to address in your accounting system
The entire process typically takes only a few minutes, compared to hours of manual reconciliation.
Note
For a more detailed walkthrough of the process, check our User Guides.
Do I need to install any software to use ReconcileIQ?
No, ReconcileIQ is a cloud-based platform that runs entirely in your web browser. There's no software to download, install, or maintain.
This offers several advantages:
Access from any device with an internet connection
No compatibility issues with different operating systems
Always use the latest version with automatic updates
No local storage of sensitive financial data
Simply create an account, log in through your web browser, and start reconciling right away.
How does ReconcileIQ differ from traditional reconciliation methods?
ReconcileIQ offers several key advantages over traditional manual reconciliation methods:
Speed: Reconcile thousands of transactions in seconds rather than hours or days
Accuracy: Eliminate human error in transaction matching
Intelligence: Match transactions even with different dates, descriptions, or when grouped as batches
Pattern Recognition: Identify recurring issues in your reconciliation process
Visibility: Clear visualization of matched vs. unmatched items
Efficiency: Focus only on exceptions rather than reviewing every transaction
Unlike built-in reconciliation tools in accounting software, ReconcileIQ works with exports from any system, offering more flexibility and powerful matching capabilities.
Account & Billing Questions
What pricing plans does ReconcileIQ offer?
ReconcileIQ offers several flexible pricing plans to suit different needs:
Each transaction credit corresponds to one line in your uploaded bank statement file. For example, if your bank statement has 150 lines, that would use 150 credits.
Visit our Pricing page for current rates and to compare features across plans.
How do transaction credits work?
Transaction credits are our way of measuring usage in ReconcileIQ:
Each line in your uploaded bank statement counts as one transaction credit
Credits are consumed when you process reconciliations
Your plan provides a monthly allocation of credits
Credits reset at the beginning of each billing cycle
Unused credits do not roll over to the next month
For example, if you upload a bank statement with 400 transactions and accounting records with 420 transactions, that would consume 400 credits.
Tip
You can see your current credit usage and remaining balance in the dashboard when logged in.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?
Yes, you can change your plan at any time. Here's how plan changes work:
Upgrading: Takes effect immediately, with pro-rated billing for the remainder of your current billing cycle
Downgrading: Takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle
Changing Plans: Log in and go to Account Settings > Subscription to make changes
If you upgrade mid-cycle, you'll immediately gain access to additional transaction credits and any new features included in the higher-tier plan.
Important
When downgrading, ensure your typical usage fits within the lower plan's credit allocation to avoid running out of credits.
Can I purchase additional credits without upgrading my plan?
Yes, you can purchase additional bonus credits if you need more than your plan's monthly allocation but don't want to permanently upgrade.
Additional bonus credits work as follows:
Purchase in packs of 500 (£3), 2,000 (£8), 5,000 (£15), or 15,000 (£35) credits
Additional bonus credits are added immediately to your account
These credits never expire until used
You can purchase additional bonus credits as many times as needed
To purchase more credits, log in and go to Account Settings > Manage subscription > Buy More Credits.
Note
If you regularly need more credits than your plan includes, upgrading to a higher-tier plan is usually more cost-effective.
Features Questions
What types of matching does ReconcileIQ perform?
ReconcileIQ offers several sophisticated matching capabilities:
Exact Matching: Matches transactions with identical amounts and similar dates (all plans)
Fuzzy Matching: Intelligently matches transactions despite description variations or date differences (Essential plan and above)
Batch Matching: Identifies when multiple transactions on one side match a single transaction on the other (Essential plan and above)
Pattern-Based Matching: Recognizes recurring transaction patterns over time (Essential plan and above)
Our matching algorithms consider multiple factors including amount, date proximity, description similarity, and transaction context to make accurate matches even in complex scenarios.
Example
Our system can match a bank entry labeled "PYMT*AMAZON" with an accounting entry called "Amazon.com Order" if the amounts match and dates are within a reasonable range.
What is LedgerIQ and how does it work?
LedgerIQ is our advanced financial analytics module that transforms your transaction data into actionable business insights. It's available in two tiers:
Basic LedgerIQ (Pro plan and above) includes:
Financial overview with key metrics (revenue, expenses, net income)
Financial ratios (profit margin, current ratio, etc.)
Performance metrics (ROA, ROE, debt-to-equity)
DuPont Analysis (breakdown of ROE components)
Expense category breakdown
Advanced LedgerIQ (Business and Enterprise plans) adds:
Revenue forecasting
Expense anomaly detection
Margin seasonality analysis
Break-even analysis

Reconciliation Summary: Overview of matched and unmatched transactions
Missing Transactions Report: Items in your bank statement not found in your accounting records
Extra Transactions Report: Items in your accounting records not found in your bank statement

Navigate to the bank account register or transaction list
Filter for the same date range as your bank statement
Look for export options (often under "Reports" or "More actions")

Are there any file size or row limitations?
Yes, there are some limitations to be aware of:
File Size:
Maximum file size: 50MB per file
This is a technical limitation for browser-based uploads
Row Limitations:
Free Plan: Up to 500 rows per file
Essential Plan: Up to 1,000 rows per file
Pro Plan: Up to 2,500 rows per file
Business Plan: Up to 20,000 rows per file
Enterprise Plan: Up to 150,000 rows per file
If your files exceed these limits, you can:
Split your reconciliation into smaller time periods
Upgrade to a plan with higher row limits
