Bank Reconciliation

Match your bank deposits against recorded donations and resolve discrepancies.

Reconciliation confirms that the money in your bank account matches what you recorded in SteepleOS.

1. Import your bank statement

  1. Go to Giving > Reconcile and click New Import.
  2. Upload a CSV export from your bank (most major banks are supported).
  3. SteepleOS parses each deposit line and saves the import.

2. Run the auto-matcher

  1. Click Auto-Match. The system compares each bank line to your recorded donations by amount and date.
  2. Lines are sorted into Auto-Matched (high confidence), Disputed (a likely match that needs your eyes), and Unmatched.

3. Resolve the rest by hand

  1. For each Disputed or Unmatched line, click it to see candidate donations.
  2. Pick the correct donation to mark it Manually Matched, or Ignore lines that aren't church income (e.g., a transfer).
  3. When every line is matched or ignored, the reconciliation is complete and your books tie out to the bank.

Tip: Ignoring a line is idempotent and reversible — you can re-open it later if you ignored it by mistake.
