Accurate, Automated Trial Balance Reconciliation
The Fund Recs Trial Balance Reconciliation automates the comparison of Trial Balances across internal systems, administrators, and custodians. It standardises data from multiple sources, runs field-level checks, and highlights discrepancies instantly. Users can drill down to the source of each break, track movements over time, and export exception reports for review or audit. By removing manual effort and providing a clear, real-time view of all balances, Fund Recs helps teams close faster, reduce errors, and maintain complete confidence in their financial data.
The Trial Balance Reconciliation Challenge
Reconciling Trial Balances across multiple systems and administrators is time-consuming and error-prone. Files often arrive in different formats, account mappings don’t align, and small breaks can take hours to trace. As reporting deadlines approach, teams spend valuable time chasing data instead of analysing results - increasing the risk of delays and misstatements.
How Fund Recs Helps
Fund Recs automates the entire Trial Balance reconciliation process. The platform ingests and standardises data from all sources, runs detailed balance checks, and instantly flags discrepancies for review. Users can drill down to identify the root cause of each break and track resolution progress. This automation removes manual effort, speeds up close cycles, and delivers a complete, accurate view of every Trial Balance.
Why It Matters
Accurate Trial Balance reconciliation is essential for reliable financial reporting. It ensures all entities and systems are aligned, reducing the risk of misstatements and late adjustments. Automating this process frees teams from manual matching and spreadsheet work, speeding up month-end and year-end close cycles. It also strengthens internal controls, improves visibility across administrators and funds, and builds confidence in the integrity of reported balances.
