In this walkthrough, you will see how to add transactions to Cash Manager and keep the account aligned with the balance shown in your banking app. The video demonstrates how to: Add money in and money out transactions Compare the Cash Manager balance with the bank balance Identify when the amounts do not match Add missing activity and confirm when the balances agree Reconcile the account Review completed transactions in the Cash Summary Use the Tracking screen to confirm which bills were paid and which expected payments were received Once transactions are added, the Cash Summary begins showing what has actually happened in the account. The Tracking screen provides the item-level view needed to confirm that expected bills and payments were completed.
Keeping your Business Cash Manager current does not have to take much time each week. In this video, we continue from Entering Transactions After Initial Account Setup and show how to update recurring bills and receivables once they have been paid or received. You’ll see how recurring transactions can be updated with just a few clicks, how the next scheduled item is created automatically, and what happens when you fall a week or two behind. We also leave an overdue client invoice open because the payment has not been received, allowing the Cash Manager to continue reflecting what is actually happening in the business. In this video, we cover: • Updating recurring bills and receivables • Catching up after missing a week or two • How recurring items advance automatically • When you still need to enter a transaction manually • How long a typical weekly update can take If you have not completed the initial setup yet, start with the Get Started playlist to add your cash accounts, bills, receivables, and reserves. Then continue with the Next Steps videos before beginning your regular weekly Cash Manager routine.
Keeping your Business Cash Manager current also means making sure your transaction history reflects what actually happened in your business. In this video, we continue from Updating Recurring Transactions in Just a Few Minutes a Week and fill in transactions that occurred while we were working through the initial setup process. You’ll see how adding the missing July activity creates more continuity in the Cash Summary and helps the account better reflect the actual movement of cash from month to month. We also look at why some transactions are still missing from the current month. Some bills have not been paid yet, some receivables have not been received, and other recurring activity is still scheduled for later in the month. In this video, we cover: • Adding missing historical transactions • Filling gaps between your initial setup and current activity • Reviewing your Cash Summary after updating transactions • Identifying bills and receivables that are still upcoming • Distinguishing between missing transactions and activity that has not happened yet If you have not completed the initial setup yet, start with the Get Started playlist to add your cash accounts, bills, receivables, and reserves. Then continue with the Next Steps videos to build out your transaction history before beginning your regular weekly Cash Manager routine.
In this video, we demonstrate how to reconcile your Business Cash Manager account to your online banking or banking app. You’ll see how to update transactions that have cleared your bank account, confirm that your Cash Manager balance matches your actual bank balance, and use the Reconcile feature to mark the transactions you have already reviewed. In this video, we cover: Updating cleared transactions Confirming your Cash Manager balance matches your bank balance Reconciling the account How reconciled transactions are marked * Keeping track of which transactions have already been reviewed Regular reconciliation helps you keep the cash information in Business Cash Manager aligned with what is actually happening in your bank account.
