Smart Ledger Reconciliation
Early Access

Reconcile messy financial files with clearer matches, exceptions, and evidence

Certanexa helps finance teams match transactions across bank statements, ledgers, invoices, payables, receivables, and accounting exports — then investigate exceptions, preserve reviewer context, and prepare audit-ready reconciliation evidence.

Early Access: This is the current evaluation anchor: imported financial data, two-way reconciliation, structured exception review, reconciliation history, and audit-ready evidence.

Built for the files finance teams actually use

Reconciliation rarely starts with perfect data. Certanexa is designed for the real files finance teams collect from banks, accounting systems, payment processors, vendors, and marketplaces.

Bank Statements

Reconcile deposits, withdrawals, ACH payments, card settlements, fees, and transfers.

General Ledgers

Match journal entries, account movements, clearing accounts, and recorded transactions.

Invoice Registers

Connect invoices to payments, deposits, customer receipts, and outstanding items.

Payables

Review vendor payments, supplier references, approval trails, and possible duplicate payments.

Receivables

Track customer payments, deposits, unpaid invoices, and timing gaps.

Marketplace Payouts

Reconcile platform payouts, fees, refunds, reserves, and settlement timing.

Card Settlements

Match card processor settlements, charges, fees, refunds, and bank deposits.

Accounting Exports

Work with exported files from accounting workflows without forcing a perfect input format.

Certanexa helps standardize messy financial inputs before matching begins — so reconciliation starts from a cleaner foundation.

A reconciliation workflow built for review

Certanexa helps structure the reconciliation process from file preparation to matching, exception investigation, and review-ready reporting.

01

Import files

Bring financial files into the workspace.

02

Map columns

Standardize dates, amounts, references, parties, accounts, and debit/credit signs.

03

Apply matching logic

Use exact, fuzzy, date-near, tolerance, reference, and rule-driven matching.

04

Review exceptions

Separate matched transactions from missing entries, timing gaps, amount mismatches, and possible duplicates.

05

Investigate with PowerBot

Preview

Ask why items did not match and generate review notes.

06

Export evidence

Create reconciliation summaries, exception reports, and audit-ready outputs.

Matching Methods

Match transactions even when references, dates, and descriptions are messy

Certanexa is designed to support several reconciliation approaches because real financial data is rarely clean enough for one simple rule.

01

Exact matching

Match transactions when amount, reference, date, or party fields line up cleanly.

02

Fuzzy reference matching

Review near-matches when references, invoice numbers, or descriptions are inconsistent.

03

Date-near matching

Handle settlement timing gaps between ledger dates and bank posting dates.

04

Amount tolerance matching

Review matches where fees, adjustments, or rounding create small differences.

05

Party and vendor matching

Standardize vendor, customer, or party names across different files.

06

Narration matching

Use transaction descriptions to support matching when structured references are missing.

07

Many-to-one review

Review cases where multiple entries may correspond to a single bank movement.

08

Rule-driven workflows

Save repeat logic for recurring reconciliation patterns after review.

Every unmatched item should move toward a clear reason

Certanexa helps finance teams separate ordinary reconciliation timing issues from exceptions that need deeper review.

Missing ledger entry

A bank transaction exists but no ledger entry is found.

Missing bank transaction

A ledger entry exists but no bank transaction is found.

Amount mismatch

The amount differs beyond the configured review tolerance.

Timing difference

The transaction appears to settle before or after the expected date window.

Possible duplicate

Similar payments appear with the same vendor, amount, or reference pattern.

Partial match

One transaction may relate to multiple entries, or multiple entries may relate to one transaction.

Unclear reference

The transaction lacks clean invoice, payment, or party identifiers.

Vendor or party mismatch

Party names do not align cleanly across files.

Match Confidence

Give reviewers more context before they approve a match

A match should not just be accepted because two amounts look similar. Certanexa helps reviewers understand why a transaction matched and which signals supported the result.

Match signals

High confidence

Same amount, close date, matching reference, matching party.

Medium confidence

Same amount and close date, but weak reference.

Low confidence

Similar amount but missing reference and unclear party.

Rule Suggestions

Turn repeated reconciliation patterns into reusable review logic

When teams repeatedly resolve the same kind of exception, Certanexa can help suggest rules that may improve future reconciliation workflows.

Pattern detected
Suggested rule
Reviewer approves
Future workflow improves
01 — Detected pattern

Settlement window rule

Bank deposits often arrive 1–3 days after ledger date.

Suggested rule

Allow a 3-day date window for selected transaction types.

Review impact

Reduces timing difference exceptions for regular settlements.

02 — Detected pattern

Vendor alias rule

Vendor names differ across bank and ledger files.

Suggested rule

Map known vendor aliases to a standard party name.

Review impact

Improves party matching for recurring vendor transactions.

03 — Detected pattern

Reference cleanup rule

Invoice references include inconsistent prefixes or separators.

Suggested rule

Normalize references before matching.

Review impact

Reduces unclear reference exceptions in invoice reconciliation.

04 — Detected pattern

Amount tolerance rule

Small settlement fees create consistent amount differences.

Suggested rule

Apply configured tolerance for selected payout workflows.

Review impact

Reduces amount mismatch exceptions for known fee patterns.

05 — Detected pattern

Many-to-one review rule

Several invoices often combine into one bank deposit.

Suggested rule

Flag grouped candidates for reviewer confirmation.

Review impact

Surfaces partial match candidates for structured review.

Rule suggestions are candidates. Your team reviews each one and decides whether it improves your reconciliation process.

Duplicate & Timing Review

Separate normal timing gaps from exceptions that deserve attention

Some unmatched items are expected settlement delays. Others may indicate duplicate payments, missing entries, or unusual behavior. Certanexa helps teams review the difference.

Why is BNK-1042 unmatched?

BNK-1042 has the same amount as GL-8821, but the bank settlement date is two days after the ledger date. This may be a timing difference. Review the reference and apply a settlement window rule if expected.

Can you draft a review note?

Draft note

Transaction reviewed as a timing difference candidate. Amount matches ledger entry GL-8821, but settlement occurred two days later. Reviewer should confirm reference and settlement window before approval.
