Reconcile and draft the journal entries
Claude · Accountants, Finance · checked 2026-11-02
Intercompany breaks sorted, JEs drafted with memo and support. Reconcile the March intercompany balances across both subledgers. Normalize FX to USD at the month-end rate, fuzzy-match by amount and reference, and sort the differences into timing, rounding, and true breaks. For every true break, draft the journal entry with Dr/Cr, memo, and support reference, and write the recon workbook to this folder. Give it your own categories. "Timing, rounding, true breaks" is your classification, stated once, so the workbook comes back already sorted your way. Specify the matching method. References never line up perfectly across entities; asking for fuzzy match catches the near-misses a VLOOKUP drops. Name every part of the output. Dr/Cr, memo, and support reference means the output is one review away from posting. Supply the reference data yourself. Cowork reads the month-end rate from the file you trust, not a number it looked up.
