A Daily Financial Brief for an SME Finance Function
The accounting software and the bank told two different stories, reconciled once a month. Between closes, nobody could say what the position was.
Context
An SME whose accounting software and bank account were reconciled at month end. Between one close and the next, the current position was a question nobody could answer without doing the work by hand.
Constraint
Read-only access to both systems. No change to the accounting workflow and no second ledger to keep in step.
Intervention
A layer that connects the accounting software and the bank, reconciles daily, and sends a short brief: cash position, what came in, what is due, and anything that does not match.
Observed Shift
Month end stopped being the first time anyone saw the numbers. A mismatch surfaces on the day it appears rather than four weeks later.
Before
- Position known once a month
- Bank and ledger reconciled by hand
- Mismatches found weeks after the fact
After
- A brief every morning
- Reconciliation runs daily and unattended
- Mismatches raised the day they appear
