Problem
The operating friction
High-volume financial transactions and months of historical reconciliation backlog created a highly repetitive manual workload.
Automating 7,500+ Historical Bank Reconciliations
Approach
Translate work into system logic
The reconciliation workflow was analyzed and translated into an automated process using Power Automate Desktop, Excel and Google Sheets, with repeatability considered alongside backlog processing.
The system
- 01Statement and transaction inputs→
- 02Matching rules→
- 03Automated processing→
- 04Exception review→
- 05Repeatable ongoing workflow
Verified outcome
What changed
7,500+ historical reconciliations covering approximately 7–8 months of transaction data were automated, and a repeatable workflow was established for ongoing reconciliation work.
What this demonstrates
Lessons from the work
- 01
A high-volume reconciliation backlog becomes processable when matching rules and exception review are designed before automation.
- 02
Automation concentrates human review on genuine exceptions instead of removing review entirely.
- 03
Defined statement and transaction inputs make the matching logic reliable and the workflow repeatable.
