You swipe, you pay online, you auto-charge software tools—and by the end of the month, your credit card statement’s 10 pages long. It’s easy to lose track of what was a legit business expense and what was personal. Or worse—some charges might be missing from your books completely.
That’s where our Credit Card Reconciliation service helps.
We go line by line, match every charge, and make sure your credit card activity is fully recorded and accurate in your books. So nothing gets missed, doubled, or miscategorized.
Here’s how we handle credit card reconciliation:
Pull your credit card statements
Compare every charge to your books
Record anything that’s missing
Fix duplicate or miscategorized expenses
Reconcile the card balance so it matches your books
Flag anything weird or suspicious
The goal: your books reflect what actually happened—no guessing, no gaps, no errors.
Charges missing from the books
Payments recorded but not linked to the right card
Personal charges mixed with business ones
Refunds that never got recorded
Duplicate entries from syncing errors
Card balances that don’t match the statement
You’d be surprised how often this stuff sneaks in. Especially when you’ve got multiple users on a card or auto-billing going on.
When your credit card isn’t reconciled, your books are off. That throws off:
Your profit and loss
Your expense tracking
Your tax deductions
Your cash flow
Your reporting
Even small errors add up. We’ve seen clients miss thousands in deductible expenses just because stuff wasn’t logged properly.
Clean reconciliation means you actually know what you spent—and your accountant doesn’t hate you at tax time.
We recommend doing this monthly (along with your bank recon), but if you’re behind, we can catch you up. We’ve reconciled a full year of credit card statements in a few days. You don’t have to feel bad about it—this is what we do.
Once you’re caught up, we’ll keep it clean moving forward.
We work with:
American Express, Chase, Capital One, Discover, BofA, and others
QuickBooks Online & Desktop
Xero, Wave, FreshBooks
Some cards sync well. Some don’t. We know the tricks to get it done either way.
We help folks in Seattle, Portland, Memphis, and beyond. Whether your card’s linked to one vendor or 100, we’ll keep your expenses sorted and your balance matching.
If your credit card balance never matches your books, or you’ve got a growing list of “uncategorized expenses,” it’s time to fix it.
We’ll do the work. You get peace of mind—and clean financials.
Let’s get your cards reconciled the right way.
