Three-way reconciliation, every business day

Triple checked.

Your bank, your books and every client’s ledger have to agree to the penny. Most firms check two of the three, once a quarter, in a spreadsheet.

is in the trust account and belongs to no client.

Finding the $1,250 is the easy half. This one is an earned fee that went into the wrong account — and the screen says so, and says what to do about it.

A two‑way tie‑out agrees with itself.

Checking the bank against your books will catch a missing deposit. It won’t catch money in the account that isn’t anyone’s — the two can agree with each other and still both be wrong about who owns what. Only the third record tells you that: what each client’s own ledger says is theirs.

How it works

Why the third one matters.

Connect once, checked every business day, and a licensed CPA works whatever it finds.

Connect once

No password ever changes hands

QuickBooks by invitation, plus your payroll system if you run one. You never share a password, and you can withdraw access from inside your own systems.

Checked every day

While there is still time to act

Not once a month, and not in a rush at quarter end. All three are checked against each other while you can still do something about it.

A CPA works the exception

Nothing changes without you

Automation finds it; a licensed CPA decides what it is and what to do. Nothing changes in your books without you seeing it first.

Beyond the trust account

Every screen is built like that one.

Six months of a real firm’s books sit behind these: clients, matters, invoices carrying hours and rates, vendor spend, payroll, and every dollar held in trust.

Law firms

IOLTA and client trust

The three-way reconciliation your state bar requires, run every day instead of at quarter end, with every exception tied to the matter it came from.

Real estate

Escrow and earnest money

Every deposit tracked against its own transaction and checked against the bank, so a closing never stalls on a balance nobody can explain.

Professional services

Retainers and client funds

Retainers you have not earned yet are tracked as money you owe, and only move across once the work is actually done.

The record behind the software

Software finds it. A person decides.

The software checks every account every business day, whether anyone is looking or not. When it flags something, a person looks at it — and their name and the date go on whatever they decide.

What the software does

  • Source— every figure traced back to the record it came from
  • Daily— synced every business day, not in a scramble at quarter end
The readiness score is built from the books, not ticked by hand.

What a person does

  • CPA— on every judgment call and every correction
  • Decides what an exception is, and what to do about it
A dashboard that is always green is not telling you anything.
