How ZeraBooks ties every month to the bank's printed balances

Every month in ZeraBooks has to tie out before it closes. When you upload a bank or card statement, the statement already tells you the answer: an opening balance and a closing balance printed by the bank. ZeraBooks reads every transaction, categorizes it from the business's own reviewed history, and then checks that opening balance plus every line equals the printed closing balance, to the cent. If it doesn't, the month stays open and you see exactly where the gap is. If ZeraBooks isn't sure how to categorize something, it asks instead of guessing, and every change it makes can be undone. That check is the whole reason we trust it to run the books without someone typing them in. It also means a bookkeeper can run a lot of clients from one login, because the boring part (did this month actually reconcile?) is answered before they open the file. What it doesn't do: there's no live bank feed, no payroll and no mobile app. It works from the statements you upload.
