Use cases: Paperwork read and checked, for the job in front of you.
Statements, invoices and carrier commission statements are read for different reasons: to reconcile a ledger, to prepare for a return, to see how long the money lasts, to pay suppliers, to bring years of history into new software, or to find the commission a carrier didn't pay. Each page here starts from one of those jobs and shows which parts of Bankflow do the work.

What changes between jobs is what has to be true at the end.
Reconciliation needs every row to walk from the opening balance to the closing one. Tax preparation needs every line in a category the return recognises, with the doubtful ones marked. A forecast needs history clean of transfers and one-offs. A payables run needs line items that add up to the invoice, not just a total. A backfill needs years of statements, each one tied to its balances. Commission reconciliation needs every carrier line matched to the policy list. The reading and checking underneath are the same for all of them; the edits and the export that matter are not.

What each job depends on
The one check or output that decides whether the job is done.
| Job | What has to be true | What does it |
|---|---|---|
| Bank reconciliation | Every statement ties to its printed balances. | Running-balance validation and the opening and closing tie-out on every parse. |
| Tax preparation | Every line sits in a category the return uses. | Categories, tags, rules, and a date-range export for the tax year. |
| Cash flow forecasting | History reflects real income and spending. | Exclusions, recurring detection, runway views, and scenarios. |
| Accounts payable | Each invoice's lines and tax agree. | Arithmetic checks, bills sent to your ledger, and supplier statements reconciled. |
| Historical data import | Years of statements, none of them short. | Per-statement reconciliation, duplicate detection, and OFX or QBO export. |
| Carrier commission reconciliation | Every policy due this month was paid as agreed. | Totals checked on each carrier statement, lines matched to the policy list, and the policies no statement paid. |
FAQ
Common questions
Do I need a different plan for different jobs?
No. Every plan includes every app; plans differ in how many page credits they include each month.
Can one account cover several of these jobs?
Yes. The statements you reconcile are the same ones a forecast reads and a tax export draws from. Folders keep accounts, entities, or clients apart.
Does any of this need a connection to my bank?
No. Everything starts from statements the bank has already issued, which is why closed accounts and years-old history work the same way as last month.
What does it cost to try one?
New accounts get up to 50 free page credits with no card, enough to run a real month of any of these jobs from first file to export.
