The books don't match the bank balance

When an account shows Balance mismatch, compare Feed balance and Books balance, same day in its panel, then find the missing, duplicate or misdated transaction.

In Accountable: ConnectionsUpdated September 29, 2026

Steps

  1. Step 1: Open Connections and click the account. Read Feed balance, Books balance, same day and Difference.

  2. Step 2: If the difference equals one transaction, filter Transactions to that account and amount to find it.

  3. Step 3: Look for a transaction that's missing (upload the statement), duplicated (see Remove a duplicate) or on the wrong account.

  4. Step 4: Check that the opening balance is right: a move or first import sets it.

  5. Step 5: Once the difference is $0.00, reconcile the account on the Close page.
