The unmatched lines are the ones nobody named. A Saturday batch, a transfer from your own account, and a refund can sit there looking the same until someone says what they were. Near Dallas the month has to agree with the bank before the return is even a topic.
Bring the month.

Klyde Warren Park sits on the deck over the freeway, and on a mild afternoon the lawn is full. We enjoy that lawn with you. After the lawn we still have to name every line, since a pleasant week leaves the books unfinished.
The work is simple to describe and slow to fake. Every line on the bank and the cards needs a match in the books, or a written reason it is still open. Transfers between your own accounts get named so they are not sales. Personal money that moved in gets named so it is not income. When the difference is zero, the month can be put away.
A month that still has a stack of unnamed lines is left open on purpose. Printing a report does not close it. We would rather show you the open items than pretend the file is done.
What the cleanup reaches back to.

If several months were never finished, the first job is those months. We say how far back before a fee is quoted. Sometimes the honest answer is that the pile is the wrong job for a monthly rhythm, and we stop. Sometimes the pile is readable once the oldest month is tied, and the rest follow.
You should be able to see the before and the after. The before is the open items. The after is a month that matches the statement. That cleanup is the subject of the first conversation. You get the open items and the tied month, not a sealed bundle and not a grade.
What you can do with a closed month.

A closed month is something you can hand to a lender's preparer, use for a pricing decision, or set next to last year. It is also the only month we will let a return stand on. Open months stay out of the return until they match.
Owners often discover that one account has been a parking spot for anything confusing. We empty that spot. Each line moves to a real account or it gets a question. The questions are short. They are better in the same week than six months later, when nobody remembers the Saturday the batch came from.
Tell us which month is open.
Name the oldest month that still has unmatched lines, and we will start the close there.
