Reconciliation is an accounting process that compares two sets of records to check that figures are correct and in agreement. Account reconciliation requires manual analysis of huge amounts of data — often tens of thousands of transactions — to ensure consistency.

The client, one of the largest tax advisory firms in India, wanted to build an app that could automate the reconciliation process. It was to be developed as a SAAS product that could be offered to financial institutions and other large firms. The app was required to filter transactions from Excel or CSV files generated by accounting software, reconcile them, and handle all exceptions seamlessly.

The requirements were very high level and the scope of the project was not well defined. Our teams worked extensively to develop the idea, find solutions and create a detailed set of requirements. New requirements emerged throughout the project but were incorporated seamlessly thanks to our agile process.
