It’s a critical process for maintaining financial control and making informed decisions for your Silicon Valley business. In addition, reconciling accounts manually can be incredibly time-consuming and prone to errors.
Discrepancies between your books and bank statements can obscure your actual cash balance, hide costly bank errors, or even mask fraudulent activity. Without consistent reconciliation, your financial reports may be unreliable.
