FAQ

Bank statement accounting FAQs

Can Fastbooks prepare accounting entries from bank statements?

Fastbooks is designed to prepare draft receipt, payment and expense entries from bank statement rows and transaction context. A reviewer should still check party, ledger, amount, invoice match and narration before posting.

Is this the same as bank reconciliation?

It is related, but earlier in the workflow. Fastbooks helps prepare the bank-side accounting entries that make reconciliation easier. Final reconciliation and posting should remain reviewable.

Does Fastbooks automatically approve bank entries?

No. Bank rows can be ambiguous. The intended workflow is draft preparation first, then human review before approval.
