Reconciliation lets you identify errors or unexpected differences 
between your accounting records and the statements sent to you 
by your bank or credit-card merchant. Such differences include 
service charges, fees, and bank interest earned, which you may 
not have entered in your Simply Accounting records.  

Before you set up an account for reconciliation, you should:  

‰

Finish entering your company’s historical records, as 
described in Chapter 11.  

‰

Set up credit cards, if you plan to reconcile statements from 
your credit-card merchants. Refer to Chapter 4, “Making and 
Accepting Credit-Card Payments,” for more information.  

‰

Set up accounts to use online banking, if you want to use this 
feature. Online banking can eliminate much of the work of 
reconciling, by letting you download your bank statement 
and check the entries automatically. Refer to “Set Up Bank 
Accounts,” earlier in this chapter, for more information.  

 

1.  In the Accounts window, add the accounts you plan to 

reconcile, if you have not already done so. Refer to “Adding 
Accounts,” earlier in this chapter, for more information.  

The accounts should be in the 1000 to 3999 range.  

2.  In the Accounts window, add the income, expense, and 

adjustment accounts you will need to keep track of interest 
earned, service charges, and adjustments.
