What happens at 12:00

5 steps, in the same order every week

  1. You save the bank files.Download the latest file for each company from your banking app and drop it in one shared folder. Any file name works.
  2. Each company is found.The account number inside every file shows which company it belongs to, so each file lands on the right tab of your sheet.
  3. Only new lines are added.Lines already in the sheet are recognised and skipped. New lines slot in by date, newest at the top. Running it twice adds 0 extra lines.
  4. The totals are checked against the bank.Where the bank shows a running balance, each new line joins up with the lines around it to the penny. Elsewhere the number of lines is checked. A failed check stops that company before anything is written.
  5. Files are put away and you get an email.Each bank file moves into a Filed folder with the date in front of its name. You receive one email with a line for every company.

4 protections that come with it

Lines are only added

Older lines, tabs and files stay exactly as you saved them.

Same result every week

A fixed routine with fixed steps, so this Friday behaves like the last.

Checks come first

The sheet is read back after writing and compared with the bank file. The file is put away once both match.

Anything unusual reaches you

It is named in the email with the reason. The other companies carry on.
