Who can access Statement Matching and Reconciliation

Workspace Admins with:

  • the Expensify Card, or

  • Reimbursements enabled with a verified business bank account.

Where to find Statement Matching and Reconciliation

Go to:

  • Reports > Accounting > Statement — compare card statement totals against recorded spend
  • Reports > Accounting > Reconciliation — match bank withdrawals for reimbursements or Expensify Card charges

Statement Matching

Statement Matching helps you verify that all company card transactions in Expensify match your card statement total.

The Statement Matching view shows:

  • Grouped by card view with subtotals per card
  • Feed filter if you have more than one card feed
  • Posted filter with a preset for Last statement
  • Total footer showing the sum of transactions for the statement period

Steps:

  1. Open Reports > Accounting > Statement.
  2. Apply the Feed filter for the correct card account.
  3. Use the Posted filter with Last statement.
  4. Compare the Total footer with your card statement.
    • If totals match, you’re done.
    • If not, expand the card groups to find missing or unmatched transactions.

Note: Admins can configure a Statement close date in card settings. By default, this is the last day of the month, but you can update the statement close date any time.

FAQ

What’s the difference between Statement Matching and Reconciliation?

Statement Matching checks that all card transactions in Expensify equal the card statement total.
Reconciliation ensures payments (card withdrawals or reimbursements) match what cleared your bank account.

Can I expand grouped results to see individual transactions?

Yes. You can expand or collapse groups (by card or withdrawal ID) inline to view the underlying transactions.

Why don’t I see the Reconciliation view?

The Reconciliation shortcut in the Accounting section only appears if your workspace has reimbursements enabled (verified business bank account) or an approved Expensify Card connected.

What’s the default Statement close date?

For new card feeds, the last day of the month is automatically selected. You can update the statement close date anytime in Settings > Workspaces > [Workspace Name] > Company Cards.
