## Example request

Reconcile March for our three restaurant clients. Match the bank statement PDFs against the transaction exports in Google Sheets. List every unmatched item, possible duplicate, and transfer between accounts, and suggest a category for uncategorized transactions based on how we coded the same vendor before. Put anything over $500 USD or without a match in an exceptions list for me.

## Workflow

1. Match statement lines to exported transactions for each client.
2. Flag unmatched items and duplicates, and suggest categories from prior coding.
3. Prepare an exceptions list with the statement page for each item.

## Result

An exceptions list for each client, with the source behind every suggestion.

## Human review

You approve every category and entry. Nothing is posted, filed, or paid without approval.

## Collaboration

The reviewer for each client sees its exceptions list with the statement pages attached.
