Bank and credit card connections import transactions automatically, match them against your books, and lock reconciled periods.
Reconciliation measured the way it actually lands: how much came in, how much matched itself, and what's genuinely left for you to decide.

DishBooks matches transactions against your books and your approved invoices as they arrive, then hands you only what it won't guess on — a payment with no invoice behind it yet, or two identical amounts from the same distributor in the same week. You spend your attention on the genuinely ambiguous handful instead of the several hundred that were never in doubt.
