### Getting started

Go to the **Accounting** tab and click **Reconciliation**. Select the account you want to reconcile from the entity dropdown in the top right, then click **Reconcile**.

Reconciliation is currently supported for checking accounts, savings accounts, and credit cards.

### Reconciliation start date

The start date defaults to the account's bookkeeping start date. Reconciliation requires consecutive statement periods from that date — you cannot skip ahead without reconciling everything in between.

If the bookkeeping start date is earlier than where you want to begin:

- Reconcile from the start date forward, uploading all statements in between

- Change the bookkeeping start date — but this removes all transaction data synced before that date

**Important:** If prior-year books are already finalized, reconciling from the original start date is the safer option. The opening balance JE can be immediately reversed to avoid affecting closed periods.

### Uploading statements

Upload PDF or scanned statements for the periods you want to reconcile. You can upload a single statement or multiple at once for catch-up bookkeeping.

- The first statement must overlap with the reconciliation start date

- Statement periods must be consecutive — no gaps

- Kick extracts account information, balances, and transactions automatically. Review the extracted data in the side-by-side view — the source document on the left, extracted transactions in an editable table on the right — before clicking **Continue**.

### Opening balance

Kick suggests an opening balance journal entry based on the extracted statement data. For mid-month statement periods, the amount is calculated for you.

Click **Set opening balance**, select the balancing account, and click **Create journal entry**.

**Note:** The opening balance must be confirmed even if it's zero.

### Reviewing discrepancies

Kick surfaces three types of differences between statement and account data:

- Transactions on the statement missing in Kick — may indicate a sync gap

- Transactions in Kick missing from the statement — may indicate duplicates

- Balance differences between statement ending balance and Kick account balance

Kick suggests changes including date adjustments, adding missing transactions, and removing duplicates. Navigate suggestions with **Space**, confirm with **Accept** or **Return**, or click **Accept all**.

The **Summary** section at the top shows the difference between the statement balance and the Balance Sheet balance.

### Period-boundary transactions

Transactions on the same date can land on different statements depending on the cutoff. If 10 transactions occur on 1/31 but only 5 appear on the January statement, the statement balance won't match the Balance Sheet as of that date. This is expected — the remaining transactions are marked Unreconciled and matched when you reconcile the next period.

### Completing reconciliation

Click **Complete reconciliation**. All matched transactions are marked Reconciled and cannot be deleted from Kick.

**Re-matching** — Drag and drop a transaction on the Kick side to reassign a match. You can only re-match transactions with the same amount.

**Undoing reconciliation** — Reconciled transactions revert to Unreconciled. Transactions added during reconciliation remain, but removed transactions and date changes are not restored.

### FAQs

**Can I view past reconciliations?**  
Yes. Go to **Accounting** in the sidebar and select **Reconciliation**. Find the account and expand it to see all completed reconciliations, including the start date, end date, beginning balance, and ending balance for each period.

**Can I undo a completed reconciliation?**  
Yes, but only the most recent reconciliation for a given account.

1. Go to **Accounting** in the sidebar and select **Reconciliation**  
2. Find the account, and expand it to see your prior reconciliations  
3. Click **Undo** on the last completed reconciliation.  
4. **Hover** over the most recent reconciliation row and click the **three-dot menu** (⋯)  
5. Select **Undo** from the dropdown.

**What happens when I undo a reconciliation?**  
- Transactions that were marked as reconciled are set back to unreconciled  
- **Transactions added** during reconciliation remain in the system  
- **Transactions removed** during reconciliation are not restored  
- **Date changes** made to match the statement are not reverted.

**Can I un-reconcile a single transaction without undoing the whole reconciliation?**  
No. To unreconcile a specific transaction, you need to undo the entire reconciliation that contains it.

**What if Kick matches a statement transaction to the wrong bank or credit card integration transaction? Can I manually edit matches?**  
Yes! To re-match a transaction, simply drag and drop the transaction on the Kick side. You'll only be able to re-match transactions with the same amount.

**How do I search for Reconciled or Not Reconciled Transactions?**  
Go to the **Transactions tab**, then click **Add Filter,** then **Reconciliation.** Tick on either **Reconciled** or **Not Reconciled.**
