What you reconcile
One way to reconcile
every account.
- Bank. Statements in any layout (PDF, Excel, CSV), by connection or forwarded by email. Bank charges, stamp duty, EMTL and NIP charges explained in one step.
- POS and payments. Settlements grouped and agreed to the bank, with processor fees recomputed against each processor’s price list.
- Investments. Holdings and trades, including treasury bills, agreed to the custodian and the cash.
- Client money. The requirement, the resources held and any surplus or shortfall.
- E-invoices. Cleared e-invoices agreed to the ledger, VAT and cash. E-invoicing
Journals
Approved before
they are posted.
- Prepared from reconciling items, a balance review explanation or an e-invoice exception, or written by hand.
- Approved by someone other than the preparer, within the limit set for their role. Review notes block approval until they are resolved.
- Posted to QuickBooks, Sage, Xero, Zoho Books or Business Central, or exported for desktop Sage, Business Central, SAP Business One and Odoo.
- A posted journal is reversed, never cancelled, and the items it came from carry forward until the ledger matches them.
Ledger import and trial balances
Bring in the ledger
you already have.
- General ledger exports from Excel and CSV, desktop Sage, Business Central, SAP Business One, Odoo and core banking systems are recognised by their headings.
- Opening and closing balance lines are read too, so the import says whether the movements add up.
- Trial balances for balance review in Close, checked line by line and in total.
02 / Imports, automation & learning
Turn approved decisions
into less repeated work.
Build on decisions your team has reviewed: names matched by hand can be used again, past decisions put the likeliest suggestions first, and recurring differences can become rules you approve.
When someone matches a customer name to a bank narration by hand, Brillrec can suggest using that link again; an administrator approves it first.
Import and connect your records
Use CSV, Excel and PDF statement imports, or configured accounting, bank, SFTP and API sources. Review the interpretation and save layouts for repeat imports. optional assistance can suggest the columns in an unfamiliar file, and connected sources can be reloaded to pick up late or backdated entries.
Explore source connectionsForward statements by email
Forward bank statements, and fund managers’ or custodians’ valuation statements, to your organisation’s own Brillrec address. Each is read, checked and filed to the right account and period, ready when that reconciliation starts. Bank and investment statements are kept on separate tabs.
How the Statement inbox worksKnow what each file needs
Each upload shows the columns it needs, with a template to download, and after upload a checklist of what was found. A file missing a required column is caught before the reconciliation starts, with the column named.
What each file needsSet conditions for automation
Account policies define confidence, amount limits and allowable differences for automatic matching. Your settings decide whether assisted suggestions are eligible. Remaining differences still require an explanation.
Configured rules can handle recurring explanations. Each bank, POS and investment account is reconciled daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly, and the Overview shows what is due now. Daily checks are available for accounts with connected accounting and bank feeds. Open items carry into the latest period and stay in step with earlier periods as work progresses.
See how every item was cleared
Reports show how items were matched: automatically by Brillrec, automatically by the AI, AI suggestions a person confirmed, and matches made by hand, with what is still open.
03 / Differences, approval & sign-off
Bring the balances, open items and explanations
together for your reviewer.
Review source balances, outstanding items and the explanations behind adjustments. Prepare commentary and bring the supporting schedules together for the person reviewing the close.
- Approval responsibilities that fit your team.Preparer, then an optional approver, then the reviewer who signs off. Assigned per account, always different people, with cover recorded in the sign-off pack.
- Controlled reopening.Sign-off locks the reconciliation; authorised reopening follows the configured controls.
- Commentary and a traceable decision.Review and edit the draft close commentary, with the actions, explanations and review history kept alongside the reconciliation.
- Adjusted balancesCheck how the two sources reconcile.
- Review historyTrace preparation and sign-off responsibilities.
View the preparer and approver history ↗
What sign-off records
Complete required approvals and review the statement before signing off. Outstanding items remain visible; whether they may remain at sign-off depends on your organisation’s policy and any required explanation.
Evaluate separate preparation, approval and reopening responsibilities for your team’s operating setup.
A difference still needs explaining
A bank charge absent from the cashbook remains an amount difference. Open-item assistance can identify possible counterparts or charge patterns, but your team checks the evidence, records the explanation and decides the appropriate treatment.
04 / Optional assistance
Help at the points that take time.
Where your organisation switches it on, Brillrec can suggest pairings with a reason, suggest the columns in an unfamiliar file, summarise the checks on an open item and draft close commentary. Suggestions are checked against your records, a person reviews every draft, and your settings decide what, if anything, is matched automatically. Open-item checks also work without it.
