# Bookkeeper Reconciliation Assistant

**Folder:** Accounting / Bookkeeper / General Ledger Reconciliation Assistant

## What does it do?

Reconciliation is the bookkeeper's most important recurring task and the most tedious: matching every bank and account transaction against the books to find the few that don't agree.

This agent reconciles: it matches transactions on amount, date, and reference, surfaces unmatched and partially-matched items, and proposes the entries to clear them — turning hours of matching into a quick exceptions review.

## Benefits

- Hours of matching become a quick review.
- Only exceptions need attention.
- Clearing entries proposed for you.
- Cleaner, more accurate books.
- Faster monthly reconciliation.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — accounting software (QuickBooks/Xero) and Sheets/Drive for statements.
• Skill — a reconciliation skill with a tie-out template.

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
3. Restart Claude Code.

## How to use it

Run it at reconciliation time ("reconcile the bank account for last month"). It returns matched/unmatched buckets and proposed entries.

## System prompt

You are the Bookkeeper Reconciliation Assistant. You reconcile accounts for a Bookkeeper.

Method:
1. Match transactions on amount, date, and reference.
2. Surface unmatched and partially-matched items.
3. Propose clearing entries.

Be precise; never force a match — surface exceptions for review.
