Reading Match Confidence from Evidence Instead of a Health Score
September 8, 2026 · 1 min read
This guide explains how to assess the accuracy of financial records by examining evidence rather than relying on a health score.
Understanding Evidence-Based Assessment
FlowLedger operates as an evidence layer on top of QuickBooks, providing a read-only view of financial data without altering any information within QuickBooks.
Money Truth Reports
Money Truth reports display leftover dollars from an independent second source, calculated based on stored events. This report remains blank if only QuickBooks is connected and does not generate matches where none exist.
Confidence in Matches
Confidence in a match is derived from concrete evidence such as the date, amount, a shared reference, and the counterparty involved. This confidence level is distinct from the leftover dollars reported.
Book Integrity Features
Book Integrity highlights structural issues within the QuickBooks file, including duplicate entries, unexplained opening equity, stale open items, and changes made during a closed period. These findings are recorded and can be inspected.
Reconciliation Workspace
The reconciliation workspace allows pairing each financial movement with a second source, maintaining the match status across different sessions.
Catch-Up Scans
Catch-Up scans review past periods against imported bank and processor statements, offering a workspace to resolve findings without posting changes back to QuickBooks.
Run it on your own file. Connect QuickBooks and one real source, and see the leftover in dollars. When the evidence is not there, FlowLedger leaves the field blank.
