# Reconciliation ### Getting started Go to the **Accounting** tab and click **Reconciliation**. Select the account you want to reconcile from the entity dropdown in the top right, then click **Reconcile**. Reconciliation is currently supported for checking accounts, savings accounts, and credit cards. *** ### Reconciliation start date The start date defaults to the account's bookkeeping start date. Reconciliation requires consecutive statement periods from that date — you cannot skip ahead without reconciling everything in between. If the bookkeeping start date is earlier than where you want to begin: * Reconcile from the start date forward, uploading all statements in between * Change the bookkeeping start date — but this removes all transaction data synced before that date {% hint style="info" %} **Important:** If prior-year books are already finalized, reconciling from the original start date is the safer option. The opening balance JE can be immediately reversed to avoid affecting closed periods. {% endhint %} *** ### Uploading statements Upload PDF or scanned statements for the periods you want to reconcile. You can upload a single statement or multiple at once for catch-up bookkeeping. * The first statement must overlap with the reconciliation start date * Statement periods must be consecutive — no gaps * Kick extracts account information, balances, and transactions automatically. Review the extracted data in the side-by-side view — the source document on the left, extracted transactions in an editable table on the right — before clicking **Continue**. *** ### Opening balance Kick suggests an opening balance journal entry based on the extracted statement data. For mid-month statement periods, the amount is calculated for you. Click **Set opening balance**, select the balancing account, and click **Create journal entry**. {% hint style="info" %} **Note:** The opening balance must be confirmed even if it's zero. {% endhint %} *** ### Reviewing discrepancies Kick surfaces three types of differences between statement and account data: * Transactions on the statement missing in Kick — may indicate a sync gap * Transactions in Kick missing from the statement — may indicate duplicates * Balance differences between statement ending balance and Kick account balance Kick suggests changes including date adjustments, adding missing transactions, and removing duplicates. Navigate suggestions with **Space**, confirm with **Accept** or **Return**, or click **Accept all**. The **Summary** section at the top shows the difference between the statement balance and the Balance Sheet balance. *** ### Period-boundary transactions Transactions on the same date can land on different statements depending on the cutoff. If 10 transactions occur on 1/31 but only 5 appear on the January statement, the statement balance won't match the Balance Sheet as of that date. This is expected — the remaining transactions are marked Unreconciled and matched when you reconcile the next period. *** ### Completing reconciliation Click **Complete reconciliation**. All matched transactions are marked Reconciled and cannot be deleted from Kick. **Re-matching** — Drag and drop a transaction on the Kick side to reassign a match. You can only re-match transactions with the same amount. **Undoing reconciliation** — Reconciled transactions revert to Unreconciled. Transactions added during reconciliation remain, but removed transactions and date changes are not restored. *** ### Reconciliation Demo Watch the below video to learn how to reconcile multiple periods at once, create an opening balance journal entry, and quickly resolve reconciliation discrepancies. {% embed url="" %} #### FAQs
