Complete workflow
Month-end closer
11 pinned recipes
Use Month-end closer in Recued to bring your imported bank statement into your Ledger book once a month: book or match every line, check the books against the statement, explain what changed since last month, and close the month with a package for your accountant. It installs Ledger book and Bank statement import too; give both Read + write. It includes 13 built-in actions and 10 ready-to-run workflows. Actions that change data use Recued's approval controls.
You are viewing one recipe in this workflow. Installing it opens the complete pack so its other recipes and background automations arrive together.
Use “Records runtime” in Recued. It helps you complete this workflow using the connections and settings you choose.
Use “Link your bank account” in Recued. Tell Month-end closer, once, which Ledger book account your imported bank statement belongs to.
Use “Month to close” in Recued. See, for one month, which lines of your bank statement are already in your Ledger book and which are not yet.
Use “Book bank lines” in Recued. Tick bank statement lines that are not in your Ledger book yet and book them to one of your existing accounts in a single step.
Use “Book as suggested” in Recued. Book bank statement lines to the account your earlier bookings or your AI model suggest, ticking only the suggestions you agree with.
Show all 11 recipes
Use “Suggest accounts with AI” in Recued. Ask your AI model which of your Ledger book accounts each new bank statement line belongs to, and keep its answers for you to review.
Use “Close the month” in Recued. Check your books against your bank statement's closing balance, then seal the month and copy a package for your accountant.
Use “Reopen a month” in Recued. Unseal a month you sealed so its lines can be booked, matched and explained again. Its figures are kept, so sealing it again takes one click.
Use “Explain the month” in Recued. See which income and expense accounts changed most since last month and what drove each change, written by you or suggested by your AI model.
Use “Month-end reminder” in Recued. On a schedule you choose, it tells you when last month isn't sealed yet, and when a month you sealed has changed since.
When you need this
If you typed an entry into Ledger book yourself — say a payment you recorded the day you made it — the same money later arrives as a line on your bank statement. Booking that line would count it twice. Linking it says: this statement line and that entry are the same money.
How a match is found
For the month you pick, a statement line that is not booked or linked yet is matched to an entry on your bank account that was typed by hand and is not linked yet, when the amount is exactly the same and the dates are no more than 7 days apart. Each entry matches at most one line. Nothing is linked until you tick it and press Link ticked.
What it trusts
The tick boxes carry the pair exactly as it was shown to you. When you press the button, the matches are worked out again from your books and your statement, and only pairs that still match are linked — a pair that changed in the meantime is skipped and counted, never swapped for another.
Undoing a link
Tick it in Linked lines and press Unlink ticked. The line goes back to being not in your books, ready to be linked or booked again.
Limits of this version
- One statement line to one entry. A deposit that settles several invoices is not matched; book it, or split the entry in Ledger book.
- When two entries have the same amount, the earlier one is tried first; if it is too far away in time, the line shows no match this time.
A closed month
While a month is closed (see Close the month), nothing in it is booked or matched here; reopen it first.
