Working guide

A bill tracker lists what you owe, when each bill is due and which account will pay it. A reconciliation then assigns the bills to accounts and shows the projected balance that remains against the minimum you want to keep. It plans payment runs, and it does not import bank statements, match transactions or keep a ledger.

Workflow map

From a bill on the list to a paid run

JobAppWhat it does here
Record each billReconciliationsAdd the vendor, the amount and the due date, and mark the bill fixed or variable. Set it to recur, or mark it paid by autopay from a named account, so the next payment run already knows about it.
Name the paying accountsReconciliationsAdd each account with its name, its last four digits, a minimum balance you want to keep and a tolerance percentage. The tolerance is the band below the minimum that still shows as At Risk rather than Below Limit.
Open a reconciliationReconciliationsCreate a session with a title and a date, then enter each account's starting balance for that point. The session holds the bills you plan to pay in this period, so one session matches one payment run.
Drag bills to the accountReconciliationsDrag each bill onto the account that will pay it. Each account's projected balance follows the bills allocated to it, so you see the effect of every allocation before any money moves. If a balance turns to At Risk, move the bill to another account or leave it for the next run.
Mark paid or ignoredReconciliationsMark a bill paid once the money has moved, or ignored when it does not belong in this run. Each account then reads Above Minimum, At Risk or Below Limit, so the decision is visible on the page.
Import or export the listsReconciliationsImport accounts or bills from CSV files when the list already exists, and export them for your records. Amounts are in US dollars, so convert any other currency before you import it.
In practice

A household and small-team payment week

  1. Monday · enter new bills

    The household adds rent, utilities and two card statements as the bills arrive. Each one gets its due date and, where it is paid by autopay, the account that pays it, so the next run starts from a complete list.

    Reconciliations
  2. Tuesday · set the minimums

    The owner sets a minimum balance for the account that covers rent, along with a tolerance for how far below that minimum a balance can dip before it becomes a real shortfall. The projection then shows where the account would dip.

    Reconciliations
  3. Wednesday · plan the pay run

    A small team allocates this period's vendor bills to its operating account and its card account. It drags each bill onto the account that will pay it, one bill at a time, and watches the balances change after every drop.

    Reconciliations
  4. Thursday · read the balances

    One account reads At Risk after the allocations. The owner drags a bill to another account whose balance can carry it, or waits for the next deposit, and records the choice in the session comments so the reason is kept.

    Reconciliations
  5. Friday · mark what was paid

    After the payments go out, each bill is marked paid. Bills left out of the run are marked ignored, so next week's session starts clean and the paid list stays accurate for the next review.

Start here

Pay-cycle papers and approvals before a bill

Payroll calendar

Decide which pay dates fall before a bill run, so you plan payroll and bills on the same schedule.

Travel request form

Decide which trip costs need approval before they turn into bills on a payment run.

Decision log template

Decide how to record why a bill was ignored or moved to a later run, so the choice can be traced.

Mistakes to avoid

Three bill-tracking errors that look like progress

Reading the projection as a bank balance

The projection starts from the starting balance you typed and subtracts the bills allocated to the account. It does not read your bank, so a card charge you have not entered is missing until you add it to the session.

Forgetting that variable bills move

A variable bill, such as a utility, changes from one period to the next. Enter the amount as billed for this period, or the projection keeps last month's number and shows a balance that will not happen.

Treating the session as a ledger

A reconciliation session plans one payment run. It is not an accounting ledger and does not match transactions, so keep your books in the system your accountant uses. Use the session to decide what gets paid, and let the books record what actually was.

Working checklist

Before the session and before you close it

Before the session

  • Every bill has a vendor, an amount and a due date.
  • Each paying account has a minimum and a tolerance you agreed.
  • Starting balances come from statements dated to the session.

Before you close it

  • Each bill due in the period is paid, ignored or moved.
  • Accounts showing At Risk or Below Limit have a recorded decision.
  • The session comments explain every ignored bill.
What this agreement means

What the bills and reconciliations feature covers

  • Bills record the vendor, amount, due date, fixed or variable type, recurrence and any autopay account.
  • Accounts hold a name, a minimum balance and a tolerance, and each account gets its own projection.
  • A reconciliation session takes starting balances, assigns bills by drag and drop and marks each bill paid or ignored.
  • Accounts read Above Minimum, At Risk or Below Limit against the minimum you set.
  • CSV import and export cover accounts and bills, and amounts are in US dollars.

This is accounts-payable planning, not bank reconciliation: it does not import bank statements, match transactions or keep a ledger. Bill due dates can also appear on the shared Calendar.

Frequently asked questions

Is this bank reconciliation software?

No. It plans which bills each account can cover in a payment run. It does not import bank statements, match transactions or produce a ledger.

How do I handle bills that are due at different times?

Give each bill its due date and recurrence, then open one session for each payment period. The session shows the bills you have allocated for that period, so a bill due later can wait for its own run.

Can I track bills for more than one business account?

Yes. Each account has its own name, last four digits, minimum balance and tolerance, and each reconciliation shows a projection for every account.

Does it create invoices?

No. It tracks the bills you have to pay. It does not create or send invoices to customers.
