The operating problem
Ledger and statement balances drift when duplicate entries, stale items, timing differences, and missing records do not have one owned follow-up queue.

Decisions stay accountable
Controls your team retains
Capacity should not blur authority. These decisions and approvals stay with the named client owner or qualified adviser.
- The client approves write-offs and journals
- Statement totals and cutoffs receive reviewer checks
- Voids and corrections remain approval-gated
