Needles

  • Transactions that don't exactly match bank statements.   
  • Near duplicates like Dan's Bar and Grill and Dan's Bar & Grill.
  • Intercompany transactions that are missing on one side of the ledger.
  • Bills with missing payments (match partial payments against bills)
  • Last minute changes in a ledger that's throwing off balances.

Haystacks

  • Months or years of bank history with X thousands of transactions.
  • Customer lists, vendor lists, comparing accounting to CRM data.
  • Data with grouped transactions that needs to be compared to details.
  • Payroll reports with many rows compared to grouped bank data.
  • Thousands of rows of trial balance data compared to earlier versions.

What is special?

How does CrushErrors.com work?
To search a haystack, segregate sections and check them one by one.  Crush does something similar.  It dissects the haystack, using Artificial Intelligence, to rank the quality of the matches.  So, in effect, CrushErrors produces a report card on each section of the haystack.  It doesn't just find needles.  It dissects the quality of the entire haystack.
  1. Artificial intelligence scans haystacks with tremendous precision.   It will MATCH the combination of D. Smith, Doug Smith, and Douglas Smith on one side,  with activity that sums to 1,000 with Douglas H. Smith on the other side, that also sums to 1,000.  Four different spellings!
  2. Intelligence that matches ACH transfers on a Friday with bank transactions that arrive on the following Monday.
  3. Intelligence that looks at every combination of every column to look for the best matches (meaning the ones with the most matching columns) and then methodically identifying matches of lesser quality.   And enabling the user to identify each segment of the haystack.

CrushErrors.com is not quite as fun as this dog finding a ball in a leaf pile

Generally speaking, we actually find needles by comparing one haystack with another.   All of the differences are found.

Forensic Cash Compilations

Recurring or One Off Reconciliations
The standard Cash Audit is limited and cursory.   Beginning and ending balances match?   Check!   Move on!    But there is so much more that can be done to look for problems - errors and fraud.  Auditors are looking for problems beneath their threshold of immateriality.   But owners should want to find ALL misconduct and errors.  

Cash is often poorly diligenced because of the volume of data, the quality of the data, and available resources. 

Crush analyzes years of data.   Not just random checks.  But a review of ALL transactions..  There are tools to find ghost accounts and sequence errors.   See sample Cash Audit Reports: Executive Summary or Full Report.
Let's say you have dozens or even hundreds of bank accounts.  This is common with retailers.  Crush provides the simplest way to complete recurring reconciliations.   It is much faster than any manual system​ and very competitive or superior to any automated solution.

But even if you only have one bank account.   Crush can speed up the search for that $9.52 error that you just must find.  It's often extra challenging because there could be two or more errors that net to $9.52.

Crush and its partners can do this work for you or teach you to do it yourself.

​Reconciliation on Fire
In addition to the tour, there are now case studies that walk users through the process.  Users will have much more power with this tool than they could ever have with a spreadsheet.   Case 1 walks a user through a completely ad hoc reconciliation that doesn't even include headers.  The AI figures everything out after studying the data.  Case 2 reconciles 9 months of bank statements in minutes.  The Power Crushing tool automatically identifies 97.5% of the transactions, allowing the user to focus on the 2.5% that needs real attention. This has tremendous uses for due diligence and searching for fraud.  Navigate to Case Studies in the main menu above or watch videos below.

FROM SELECTED USERS 

​Our company is just about to start an important audit for last year.   CrushErrors.com has been exceptionally useful to find unexpected typos and voided items before the auditors could spot them, thereby building confidence.  This tool even matched complex payroll entries to the bank statement for the last 18 months, making it much easier to explain to the auditors.  Every pre-audit company should find this tool useful, and even more so for a company that has never undergone an audit.”

"We’ve been using CrushErrors.com for a year and it has saved our accounting team about 40 hours a month on bank reconciliations. And it’s continually getting easier to use with the constant stream of improvements. I’d recommend it for every business. A user can get up to speed in less than an hour. Incredible ROI."

​I wish I had CrushErrors.com at my previous fintech engagement.  They had many problems matching ACH and credit cards transactions with in-house and multiple third-party reports.   CrushErrors.com is simple and much faster than any cumbersome spreadsheet. “ 

​Armine Alajian, CPA

"With it's pleasant, intuitive and easy to navigate GUI the whole process now feels like a video game! Thanks to this amazing product we are able to save time, money and eliminate human errors! For the price and adaptability of this incredibly powerful tool you absolutely have to go for it. It was a no brainer for us after the demo. After having used it for several months now, and seeing Doug continue to improve it, we  couldn't recommend it highly enough."

Terminology

  • In the old days, it was referred to looking for a Needle in Haystack (terminology from 1532).   
  • Stare and Compare preceded Excel. 
  • Excel has many limitations.  Without any exaggeration, there is NOTHING like the power of CrushErrors.com.
