The check register

Every check the software runs, and what each one needs from you.

25 checks. Some run on a bank statement alone. Some need the profit and loss and balance sheet you already have. Some need a view-only connection to your accounting software, and are marked so you can decide whether that is a trade you want to make.

4 of these run free, in your own browser, on a statement that is never uploaded. Try the leak finder.

Are the numbers right

  • What the month cannot tell you
