Bank Reconciliation

Bank Reconciliation matches your bank statement to AlignMint ledger activity so you can sign financials with confidence. Import spreadsheet statements, match columns once, and skip duplicates. Work the Unreconciled tab with bank lines on one side and cash activity on the other.

Open Fund Accounting → Bank Reconciliation. Available on ProEnterprise. Smart Matching suggestions and review queues are part of that workflow. This tool matches bank activity to the ledger—it is not the same as Revenue Reconciliation, which compares Donor Hub gifts to income statement revenue. Post imported bank rows that are not yet on the books in the Bank Transaction Posting. After finishing, run Bank Reconciliation Reports for period summaries.

Reconcile every operating account monthly; falling behind makes outstanding check research painful when auditors ask for cleared-date support.

Monthly reconciliation is a core internal control. AlignMint keeps reconciliation status on each journal line (unreconciled, clearing, reconciled) so filters in the General Ledger stay aligned with bank work.

What You Can Do

• Import statements, match columns once, and skip duplicates
• Match bank and ledger lines; create one-sided clearing entries
• Group complex journal entries on the ledger pane when you need a simpler view
• Review Smart Matching proposals, then approve, edit, or decline each one.
• Export Unreconciled, Clearing, and Reconciled tabs; save finish snapshots

Common Tasks

Reconcile the operating checking account

1. Open Fund Accounting → Bank Reconciliation and select the account.
2. Enter statement end date and ending balance, then import or refresh bank lines.
3. Match cleared items until the difference is zero, then finish the period.

Research an outstanding check

1. Filter Unreconciled ledger lines by amount or check number.
2. Open the journal entry drawer to see payee and expense detail.
3. Void or adjust only when the check truly will not clear.

Good to Know

Connect accounts under Administration → Chart of Accounts for automatic import, or upload files manually each month. Pair reconciliation with the Month-End Close Checklist before packaging a Close Packet.
