Payment processor reconciliation Workbook
Organize payment processor reconciliation with AE Tax Advisors’ editable workbook, evidence checklist and CSV export. Prepare the records for review.
When to use this workbook
Use this payment processor reconciliation workbook to connect gross transactions, processor fees and net settlement before the next review. Keep the three records distinct so a missing item is visible.
Reconcile one account or transaction stream at a time. Work from a closed statement period and compare the source records with the ledger before proposing a correction.
Review checkpoint: A balancing entry can conceal an unidentified transaction. Keep the unexplained item visible until its source and treatment are resolved.
Record checks for payment processor reconciliation
| Record | What to check |
|---|---|
| Gross transactions | Use a short factual description and a reference to the underlying record. Mark missing or conflicting evidence as unresolved instead of assuming an answer. |
| Processor fees | Identify the source and period behind the amount. Distinguish a quote or estimate from a posted transaction and flag any difference. |
| Net settlement | Use a short factual description and a reference to the underlying record. Mark missing or conflicting evidence as unresolved instead of assuming an answer. |
Your payment processor reconciliation working record
Enter short notes or document references. Use aliases instead of account numbers or personal identifiers. This worksheet exports the values you enter; it does not send them to AE or determine a filing position. Entries are not saved after you leave or reload.
Information readiness checklist
These checks track information readiness, not tax compliance or eligibility.
0 of 5 information checks marked.
Turn the record into a review handoff
For payment processor reconciliation, start the handoff with the connection between gross transactions and processor fees. Then identify what net settlement still needs to establish. The exported sheet should make that relationship clear without replacing the original documents.
List the person collecting evidence separately from the professional deciding treatment. A blank field is a request for follow-up, not a zero, an approval or a concluded answer. Keep the supporting documents in your agreed secure record system; this public page accepts no document uploads.
