A trial balance you can trust before the statements are built
Upload the client’s trial balance or general ledger. Financial Intake checks it, normalises it to one sign convention, maps every account it can and asks about the rest — the most material first — before a person approves the version the statements are built on.
Who uses it
- Accountant
- Manager
What it does
- Import from Excel, CSV, PDF and other formats; a general ledger is added up per account into a trial balance.
- Checks: debits equal credits, no duplicate accounts, every line has an account code, balances on their usual side, the period dates valid.
- Raw, normalised and mapped views of the same lines, with the unmapped accounts listed.
- Questions from the mapping engine, each with the AI’s suggestion, its confidence and its reason; take it and remember it for this client.
- A mapping a person chooses wins over every rule and every AI suggestion.
- Versions: a new trial balance is a new version, the earlier one kept and marked superseded.
How it works
- Import the trial balance or ledger.
- Fix what the checks find.
- Answer the mapping questions.
- Approve the version.
The controls that protect it
- Approval is a person’s — never the AI’s — and is refused while validation fails or anything is unmapped.
- Every file is stored and traceable back to the original.
What it does not do (yet)
- Bank statements and posting into a ledger are the Practice suite’s client books, not this suite.
