Why Bank Reconciliation is still a headache, and how to finally fix it

Ask any accountant or finance lead what eats up their time every month, and you’ll hear them always say ‘bank reconciliation’.

It’s rather startling that even in 2025, many businesses still wrestle with this critical task using clunky Excel sheets, scattered bank exports, and manual guesswork. The only result you get doing this is discrepancies that go unnoticed, financial reports that take forever to put together, and then complex audits.

But here’s the thing, bank reconciliation doesn’t have to be painful anymore.

The Real Cost of a Broken Reconciliation Process

Let’s talk about the consequences of a broken reconciliation process.

• You miss anomalies because you're too busy matching numbers manually

• You delay closing books, slowing down leadership decisions

• You overpay taxes due to misclassified income or untracked expenses

• And worst of all, your confidence in your numbers drops

Finance teams deserve better tools. But there is a much better way with accounting softwares like Tyms.
