A folder of statements in February, or in October.

A Schedule C client, or a small S corporation with no bookkeeper, arrives with a folder. Twelve checking statements, eleven card statements, and a photo of the one the bank mailed. You need the year's transactions in categories. You need to know what is missing. And you need a record of what you checked if the return is questioned.

With Ledgerfoot

The folder becomes a table, and the gaps become a list.

  • One workspace per client

    Every statement for every account, uploaded in one batch. Accounts are recognized from the statements.

  • Every statement checked

    Opening balance plus rows equals closing balance, or the statement is flagged with the difference and the likely row. Photos of statements are read as images and checked the same way.

  • Gaps named

    A month with no statement for an account is listed, so the request to the client is exact: "Business checking ยทยทยทยท4471, July and August."

  • Categories you control

    Rules you set run first. A model suggests categories for the rest, from the chart you give it, and every suggestion is marked until you accept it.

For the file

One page that says what was checked.

The client summary lists each statement and its check, the gaps, the duplicates resolved, and the exceptions left open, with the date. It goes in the file with the organizer.

Pricing

Pro for the season, credits for the one-off.

Pro covers unlimited clients, the rules, the QuickBooks Online bank files, the Xero bank statement file, the exceptions list, and the summary. It can be cancelled when the season ends. A single client's year fits in a pack of credits.
