Verify Transactions Against Bank Feeds
Start by importing your bank feed into Invoice Fly and line up every transaction with the corresponding bank entry. Review amounts, dates, and descriptions to ensure each payment and charge is reflected correctly.
For pending transactions, mark them as expected so they do not appear as discrepancies later. This careful verification reduces surprises when you reconcile invoice payments against bank deposits.
