Reconciliation is the habit that makes KakeiMaple trustworthy. It’s a few quiet minutes where you confirm your records match what the bank actually says.
What reconciling means
You compare the balance KakeiMaple shows for an account against the real balance on your latest statement. If they match, every transaction is accounted for. If they don’t, you’ve found a missing, duplicate, or mis-entered item — before it spreads.
A simple rhythm
- Import the latest transactions for the account.
- Categorize anything new.
- Check the app’s balance against your statement’s closing balance.
- Resolve any difference, then mark the account reconciled.
Why it’s worth five minutes
- Your net worth is real, not approximate.
- Your budget reflects money you actually spent.
- Your forecasts start from solid ground.
Auto-syncing apps skip this step — and quietly inherit whatever errors the feed contains. Reconciling is how you stay sure.
