One-click reconciliation

The one-click reconciliation feature allows for faster trial balance tie-outs when the AI suggestion is correct.

AI tie-out

Denari AI processes your uploaded workpapers to suggest reconciliations. The AI:
  • Looks at the first three pages and the last two pages of each document
  • Picks the value lowest on the page when multiple matches exist (to better detect totals)
  • Considers the file name when making suggestions
  • Learns from what you did in the last period
Correct file naming is the most important thing you can do to assist the AI. Name files descriptively — for example, “Fixed assets 053125.pdf” instead of “2014904.pdf” or “download.pdf”.

Parent/sub-account reconciliations

You can view sub-account values by hovering over the child accounts button on the reconciliation screen. Bulk remove all sub-account reconciliations at once using the bulk delete option. Reconciliation screen showing child accounts with their balances and the option to create the same reconciliation for all child accounts.

Workpaper difference

Workpaper difference is calculated using absolute values, so negative account balances with matching positive support will show a difference of zero.
