What is bank reconciliation and how do I use it?

    I'm glad to see I'm not the only one struggling to reconcile. It ought to be a fairly straightforward event. My challenge is 'ending balance dates' and 'ending balances'. My bank statements don't always end on the end of a month. Sometimes they carry over into the following month by a few days. Wave doesn't allow for me to select a date past the month it wants me to reconcile; so therefore I can't perform a true reconcile to match my bank statements.
    I also agree with one of the other comments that there ought to be some sort of checkbox to make the process easier and ensure more accuracy.
    I hope Wave will take into consideration those of us who are using their product and make some changes that reflect the concerns raised within the comments.

    @MCS While I understand what you're saying here, the purpose of reconciling your accounts is to ensure that the transactions match up (verbatim) with what you have listed on your bank statement (including dates). With that said, if the date of a transaction is incorrect (for example, in the wrong month) the account won't be able to be properly reconciled due to the balance not being incorrect. I do agree that the Reconciliation page needs improvement, and it's something that is currently being built, so I do appreciate your patience until it's released.

    @MiddleSchoolMatt Having adjustable date ranges for reconciliation is key, I agree. As we continue to build the feature upgrade, this is one of the subject matters that we are exploring and should have implemented. We still don't have a timeline as to when this will be released, but thanks for chiming in and letting us know your pain points about this feature.

    @MCS @MiddleSchoolMatt @BruceB @mayorcm281 @Pip @mpryde @Pkenn @LJezard @MikaCreative @JHRED1 @mommyof4grlz, and any other interested parties. Firstly, thanks for all of the feedback, we've heard you loud and clear that the existing experience for reconciliation is lacking.

    We've been hard at work developing a new reconciliation experience that will be shipping in the coming weeks. We're at a point now where we have something ready from testing and would love some feedback. If anyone can spare 15 minutes in the next few days to test out the experience please reply to this thread or message me directly and we'll set something up. We'd love your feedback.

    Thanks!

    I have successfully reconciled my bank account. Now I need the Reconciliation Detail and Reconciliation Summary Reports. It shows your cleared transactions, your uncleared transactions, your beginning and ending balances and your register balance. Does anyone know how to do this?

    Hey guys! I am SUPER excited to announce that the upgrade for the Account Reconciliation tool is now LIVE! Thanks to your feedback, we have taken the necessary strides to make this feature more intuitive and more efficient (you can now see your transactions from the Reconciliation page!).
