No reconciliation is signed off without a second reviewer. ## What is a bank reconciliation service? A bank reconciliation service compares the transactions in your accounting software with the transactions on your bank and credit-card statements and explains every difference. The goal is a ledger balance that agrees with the statement after timing items such as outstanding checks and deposits in transit. Done monthly, it catches missing entries, duplicates, bank errors and fraud early. ## What we handle for manufacturers and wholesalers - Customer wires and ACH batches matched to the invoices on the remittance - Foreign-currency supplier payments reconciled with bank charges and FX differences posted - Line-of-credit draws, repayments and interest reconciled to the lender statement - Equipment loan payments split between principal and interest - Lockbox and merchant deposits matched with fees recorded separately ## The KPI that matters here All bank, loan and card accounts reconciled with no item open past 30 days. ## Manufacturing compliance notes ### Sales-tax exemption certificates Resale certificates, manufacturing machinery and equipment exemptions and direct-pay permits each exempt a sale only when a valid certificate is on file at the time of sale or obtained within the state's grace period. We collect certificates at customer setup, store them against the customer record, track expiry dates and produce an exempt-sales report with certificate references for every period. Your preparer or Avalara files the return; we prepare the workings. ### Cost of goods sold and inventory valuation Inventory must be valued on a consistent method, whether FIFO, weighted average or standard cost with variances, and cost of goods sold must include the costs your CPA determines are inventoriable under IRS §471 and, above the gross-receipts threshold, §263A. We apply the method your CPA sets, reconcile the inventory system to the ledger monthly and document every adjustment, so year-end is a review rather than a rebuild. ### Landed cost and import duty Customs duty, tariffs, freight, insurance and brokerage on inbound goods are part of inventory cost and reach expense only when the goods are sold. We allocate these costs to receipts in Cin7, NetSuite or your ERP and post the same allocation in the ledger, so margin by product reflects what the goods actually cost to put on the shelf. ### Multi-state nexus for wholesalers A wholesaler with customers across states may have economic nexus in states where it makes no taxable sales, and still owe registration and returns to report exempt sales. We track sales by ship-to state and flag thresholds so you and your advisor can register where required. We do not give tax advice; we supply the numbers. ## Manufacturing software we work in - [QuickBooks Online](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/quickbooks-online/) - [Sage Intacct](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/sage-intacct/) - [Sage 50](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/sage-50/) - [NetSuite](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/netsuite/) - [Xero](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/xero/) - [Bill.com](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/bill-com/) - [Avalara](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/avalara/) - Cin7 - Katana - Fishbowl - [All 50 platforms](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/) ## More for manufacturers and wholesalers Other services for manufacturing - [Bookkeeping](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/manufacturing/bookkeeping/) - [Invoicing and billing](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/manufacturing/invoicing-and-billing/) - [Accounts receivable](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/manufacturing/accounts-receivable/) - [Accounts payable](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/manufacturing/accounts-payable/) - [Month-end close](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/manufacturing/month-end-close/) - [Financial reporting](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/manufacturing/financial-reporting/) - [All manufacturing services](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/manufacturing/) Bank reconciliation in other industries - [Marketing agencies & consultancies](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/agencies/bank-reconciliation/) - [Auto repair shops & dealerships](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/auto/bank-reconciliation/) - [Behavioral health practices](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/behavioral-health/bank-reconciliation/) - [Daycares, schools & education](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/childcare-education/bank-reconciliation/) - [The full bank reconciliation page](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/bank-reconciliation/) ## Frequently asked questions ### How do you reconcile foreign-currency payments to overseas suppliers? The supplier bill is recorded in its currency at the rate on the invoice date, and when the wire settles we post the actual dollars leaving the bank, with the difference recorded as a realized exchange gain or loss and the bank's wire fee as a separate expense. Unsettled foreign bills are revalued at month-end if your CPA's policy requires it. ### Can you reconcile a line of credit and borrowing base? Yes, every draw, repayment and interest charge is matched to the lender's statement each month so the loan balance in the ledger agrees. Where the facility has a borrowing base, the reconciled receivables and inventory figures feed the certificate. The controller services page for manufacturers & wholesalers covers borrowing-base preparation in more detail. ### What if a customer wire covers ten invoices and short-pays two? The wire is matched to the invoices on the remittance advice, and the short-pays are recorded as deductions against the specific invoices with the reason the customer gave. The bank reconciliation then ties out and the customer's balance shows only the disputed amounts. The cash application service for manufacturers & wholesalers handles this matching every day.
