Reconcile the bank statement with one free prompt

This page gives you a free, copy-ready prompt for this job (it matches statement rows to ledger rows and hands you a complete exception list: match status, difference and next action per row), plus the $19 standing-agent version that runs it on repeat without re-pasting rules.

It matches statement rows to ledger rows and hands you a complete exception list: match status, difference and next action per row. The prompt below is the do-it-yourself version.

The prompt

Help me match statement rows to ledger rows and leave one clean exception list for one manual batch.

Use only the approved inputs I paste below. Return a review table with these columns:
Date | Description | Amount | Reference | Match ID | Match reason | Confidence | Status

Rules:
- Link each judgment to the exact supplied source or write unknown.
- Remove obvious duplicates inside this batch and preserve any human edits I include.
- Use the wording template or criteria I provide; do not invent claims, people, amounts, dates, evidence or decisions.
- Show blockers separately instead of guessing.
- Prepare the work only. Do not send, publish, schedule, book, spend, approve, reject, delete or change a live record.

What this free prompt does

It handles one manual batch from the context you paste and returns review-ready work. It does not save a workspace, remember prior runs, watch a clock or manage follow-ups.

When the job repeats

The paid Reconciliation Agent adds the full recurring system: one-choice setup, exact Google Sheet structure, the pack's fixed run clock, history-aware dedupe, new-or-due-only processing, replay protection, approval queues and verified writeback. It is $19 one-time.

What to bring

Reconciliation is a row-by-row match between the statement and the ledger, and the exceptions are always found at 6pm on close day.

What a good run returns

A sheet with statement row, ledger row, match status, difference and next action, in a Bookkeepers Reconciliation Workspace folder.

Where the free version ends

This free prompt handles one manual batch from pasted context. The Reconciliation Agent ($19 one-time) installs this as a standing workflow: fixed evidence rules, a saved output in your own Drive every run, fictional-data testing before real work, and hard stops before anything sends, spends or publishes. More detail on the AI bank reconciliation guide.
