How Xero bank reconciliation works with CleverBalance

No templates to maintain. No formulas to write. Just a simple workflow finance teams can trust.

1

Export transactions from Xero

Export the relevant transactions from Xero.

  • Bank account transactions
  • General ledger exports
  • Account activity reports

These exports usually download as CSV or Excel files and work directly with CleverBalance. No formatting or file modification is required.

2

Download your bank statement

Download the corresponding bank statement from your bank.

  • Different bank formats
  • Extra columns that are not required
  • Common formatting differences (dates, currency values, etc.)

You can upload the statement exactly as it is downloaded.

3

Upload both files

Upload the Xero transaction export and the bank statement.

  • The Xero transaction export
  • The bank statement

CleverBalance reads both files and prepares them automatically for reconciliation. There is no need to clean or reformat your files beforehand.

4

Map columns once (quick and guided)

CleverBalance asks you to confirm a few key columns.

  • Date column
  • Amount column (or debit / credit columns)
  • Description or narration column

This step takes less than a minute and ensures the reconciliation runs accurately.

5

Run reconciliation

Click Run reconciliation. CleverBalance automatically:

  • Normalizes dates and currency formats
  • Matches transactions within a reasonable date tolerance
  • Groups related entries where needed
  • Separates matched and unmatched items clearly

Instead of waiting for reconciliation spreadsheets to be completed, your team can review results instantly.

6

Review results clearly

Results appear in two simple views.

Matched

Transactions that match between Xero and the bank statement. You can expand rows to inspect details and verify matches easily.

Unmatched

Transactions that require attention. These might include:

  • Timing differences between bank and Xero entries
  • Missing entries in either file
  • Bank charges or adjustments
  • Data inconsistencies

Because unmatched items are separated clearly, your team immediately knows what needs review.

7

Export reconciliation reports

Download structured Excel reconciliation reports for:

  • Internal finance reviews
  • Management reporting
  • Audit documentation
  • Client reporting (for CA / CPA firms)

Reports are generated in a clean, consistent format every time.
