Consulting Firms reconciliation workflow
Consulting firms bill clients in a mix of models — monthly retainers, hourly project invoices, and performance milestone payments — that each arrive on different schedules and via different payment methods. A 5-person consulting firm might have 50–100 bank transactions monthly that need to match QuickBooks or Xero entries across multiple client projects. LedgerMatch matches every retainer payment, project invoice deposit, and contractor payment against your ledger in under 10 minutes.
Local and industry considerations
- Missouri has a 4% corporate income tax, and St. Louis has a 1% city earnings tax — businesses need accurate monthly reconciliation to support both state and city filings.
- Retainer payments, milestone invoices, and expense reimbursements often arrive in the same month for different clients — accurate bank reconciliation is the only reliable way to confirm which payments have cleared.
