Services
Reconciliation and financial controls for Republican campaigns, party organizations, and PACs. When bank, book, and reporting balances disagree, we trace the differences and give your treasurer a documented basis for corrections, questions, and follow-up.
A mismatch can begin with timing, a missing entry, or an unsupported balance. We separate what the records explain from what remains uncertain, giving leadership and the treasurer a clearer basis for the next decision.
A useful reconciliation leaves a trail the next reviewer can follow. We record corrections and remaining questions and recommend practical improvements to documentation, approvals, and follow-up where they would help.
Prior professional experience
Prior audit, internal-control, and investigative experience informs attention to the records behind a balance.

A balance does not agree, a difference keeps returning, or a new treasurer or chair needs to understand the records they have inherited.
Illustrative work product
An explained difference is more useful than an unexplained adjustment. This example connects the balances, supporting information, and next review step.
| Evidence | Review question | Owner and next action |
|---|---|---|
| Bank statement: $53,300. Books: $53,000. | What explains the $300 difference? | Bookkeeper compares the same account and statement period. |
| A $300 payment is recorded in the books but has not cleared the bank. | Does the payment support explain the timing item? | Treasurer reviews the payment record and subsequent bank activity. |
| Adjusted bank balance: $53,300 − $300 = $53,000. Book balance: $53,000. | Can another reviewer follow the explanation? | Reviewer documents the bridge and the item to check next period. |
The documented bridge explains this difference. It also tells the next reviewer what remains outstanding instead of relying on a matching balance alone.
Affected accounts and periods, available statements, books, reports, known differences, and upcoming deadlines.
The review follows the available records. It does not provide an independent audit opinion or guarantee that every discrepancy can be resolved.
Your questions
Not necessarily. Timing, missing entries, classifications, and other issues can create differences. We start with the records before drawing conclusions.
We document what the records explain, what remains open, and which information or follow-up could help. The remaining questions stay visible rather than disappearing into an unexplained adjustment.
Findings can support your team’s review of corrections and reporting questions. Legal interpretation and representation remain with qualified counsel, and amendment preparation is separately arranged.
Fees reflect the work, transaction volume, record condition, and timing. We’ll agree on responsibilities and fees with you before work begins.
