SheetCompareCredit Card Reconciliation Template
Match each statement charge against what you recorded, with a variance column that flags mismatches and category tracking.
What's in it
- Statement Charge — The amount charged on the card statement.
- Recorded Amount — The amount you recorded in your books.
- Variance — Auto-calculated (Statement minus Recorded). Non-zero means a discrepancy.
- Status — Matched or Review, your call after checking the variance.
Company card statements are a reconciliation headache: dozens of charges, several cardholders, and categories that have to map to your chart of accounts. This template gives each charge a row, computes the variance between the statement and what you recorded, and lets you tag a category and a status so partial-amount disputes and missing receipts surface instead of slipping through.
Everything is a plain formula you can audit. Swap in your statement period and the variance and totals update as you go.
How to use it
- 1
Enter each statement charge
One row per charge: date, merchant, category, and the charge amount from the statement.
- 2
Record what you booked
Add the amount you recorded for each charge. The Variance column shows any difference automatically.
- 3
Resolve and tag
Mark each row Matched or Review. Investigate every non-zero variance, a partial refund, a tip added later, or a missed entry.
Frequently asked questions
Can I track multiple cardholders?▾
Yes. Add a column for cardholder, or keep one workbook per card. The variance formula works regardless.
What does a non-zero variance usually mean?▾
A tip or surcharge added after authorization, a partial refund, a currency-conversion difference, or simply a missed or mistyped entry.
How do I compare two statement periods?▾
Fill in each period in its own copy, then drop both into SheetCompare to diff them row by row.
