Reconcile the budget without turning it into an investigation
Reconciliation is the moment a budget proves it is connected to reality. Counts keeps the statement date, expected balance, actual balance, and unmatched activity in one focused workflow so you can resolve discrepancies without rebuilding the month.
Start freeOne visible difference
See the gap between the Counts balance and the verified statement balance before changing anything.
Statement activity beside the ledger
Import and review bank rows in a dedicated inbox, then add missing transactions intentionally.
A recorded checkpoint
When the account agrees, save the reconciliation date and balance for the next review.
How to get started
Choose an ending date and balance
Use the bank statement or verified online balance for one clear point in time.
Review only the difference
Look for missing, duplicated, pending, or incorrectly signed activity rather than scanning the entire budget blindly.
Confirm the checkpoint
Save the reconciliation when the ledger and real account agree, then continue from a trustworthy starting point.
Questions people ask before starting
What does it mean to reconcile a budget account?
It means confirming that the transactions and calculated balance in Counts agree with the financial institution at a specific date.
How often should I reconcile?
Weekly works well for active spending accounts. Monthly may be enough for quiet savings or debt accounts.
Can Counts help find missing transactions?
Yes. The statement inbox compares imported rows with likely ledger matches and lets you review unresolved activity.
Does reconciliation change my bank balance?
No. Counts records and organizes budgeting information; it does not move money or edit a bank account.
