RecMatch: Bank Reconciliation Exception Matcher
RecMatch: Bank Reconciliation Exception Matcher ships as a ready-to-import n8n automation package: load the bundled workflow JSON, connect the credentials listed on this page, and activate it on self-hosted n8n or n8n Cloud.
Stop hand-matching statement lines: this workflow reconciles your bank tab against your ledger tab every morning, files an audit trail of every pair, and emails you only the exceptions with a likely cause and next step.
- Match bank statement lines to ledger entries automatically on amount, date proximity, reference and description
- Tune the match yourself with an amount tolerance, a clearing-lag window in days, and a confidence-score floor
- Review only the exceptions — each one labelled in bank, not in ledger or in ledger, not in bank, with the closest near-miss shown
- Get an AI bookkeeper's likely cause and one concrete next step for every unmatched line
- File an audit-ready trail of every matched pair and every exception to its own sheet tab
- Never see the same line twice: reconciled lines are retired only after the audit row and the email both succeed
- Handle real-world statements — negative debits, bracketed amounts, day-first dates, and separate debit/credit columns
Setup Service — optional live install and test. Choose your tier at checkout (not tied to this template's price).
Paste the license key from your receipt. It must match this template.
Workflow summary
One workflow handles everything end-to-end.
- 1Runs every morning on a schedule in your timezone
- 2Reads your bank statement tab and your ledger tab from the same Google Sheet
- 3Fuzzy-matches the two sides on amount, date proximity, reference and description, one-to-one and above a confidence score you set
- 4Files every matched pair and every unmatched line to an audit tab with its score or the reason it failed
- 5AI explains each exception in plain English with a likely cause and one concrete next step
- 6Emails you a reconciliation summary with the match rate and only the lines that need review
- 7Remembers what was already reconciled, so the same line is never re-reported and a failed run simply retries
