CrushErrors.com is an error crushing platform!
What does that mean? There are two parts. There is the error crushing part and the platform part.
|
What does error crushing mean? It means that it finds changes, errors, discrepancies, duplicates, combinations, matches that are very hard or next to impossible to replicate with any other product.
|
What does platform mean? It means there are very user-friendly Apps that run on top of the platform that solve very very specific problems.

** Key fields are identifying items that should match both in trusted data and problem data, like document number, or account number, or vendor ID. *** Example: match 10 vendor bills with 3 payments or 5 intercompany detailed entries with 1 summary entry. |
Apps that Run on the Platform

We added a new feature that is a game changer. As users reconcile transactions (or anything else), they can star the quality of the transactions. Then they can filter on the quality (represented by stars) of the transactions. Then generate a report.
Here is a simplified real world example. User has 1,000 transactions to reconcile. User is given this information at 4:30pm. User immediately clicks the matches button. 800 perfect matches are selected. User gives these 800 transactions 5 stars because they are perfect. User presses a button that sends the 800 to a final report. Now 4:35pm. User now has 200 transactions left to reconcile. User presses save to keep a local copy of the entire reconciliation process.
User now goes through 200 imperfect transactions. User finds a pair that has a $0.20 error. User gives that 1 star and notes that there is a "typo." With button click, user then sends that transaction to final report. Now 199 left to reconcile. User keeps going till 5:00pm. Saves work to local file and emails him or herself the file.
User receives email. Opens in browser at home. Works 1 more hour. Now down to 50 transactions. User emails file again (or puts in dropbox). Goes to work in morning. Gets email. Loads again. Continues till all transactions are reconciled. User now has report that can be easily filtered on stars. User fixes all 4 stars him or herself. User sends 1, 2, and 3 star items to subordinate to make simple fixes.

Someone made a surprise prior period entry. Where is it? My bank says the balance is $20,522, but my records say it should be $20,876. Where are we off? The management company said they collected $1,200,338 in rent this month, but I'm showing it should be more. I'd like to compare by Unit. My AP aging doesn't equal the balance sheet. I need to compare by vendor to see where the error is. My customer list is full of duplicates. Sometimes the same client is .net. Other times .com. They're annoyed I need to seriously dedupe. I do the same reconciliations every month. And each time I have to set up from scratch. Is there an App for that? |
My client sent me an updated Balance Sheet and there are many changes. What are they? My sales and marketing department have two different customer lists that don't match. One has Bill's Grocery. Other has Bills Grocery Inc. Help! My vendor says I owe them $5,250, but my records show I only owe them $4,000. Where are we off? I have partial payments that are hard to match. Ugh!. I know my customer owes me $2,228, but they are claiming they only owe me $1,833. What's off? They're always rounding their payments and it's very tedious to match! My client updated their chart of accounts and I need to see what changed. My forecast was based on the old version. It's a pain to do manually. |
Productivity Tool with Zen Focus on Account and Balance Reconciliation
|
This product stands apart from other error finding, comparison tools. There's a "Zen" focus on finding errors (see Accounting Today review below). It finds typos. It will help you tick and tie. It looks for one to one errors and many to many errors. The many to many solution lets you total numbers based on key fields and then compare the totals. Another way to think of the many to many version is that it merges two sets of data based on key fields you EASILY set.
Why is this different? Because it's simple and low cost and focused. Find the errors and fix them in your own software you already use and own. You do not need a committee to evaluate this product. You don't need a budget review. If you can copy and paste, you do not need integration with your other software. You don't have to worry about privacy or security because none of your data touches our servers (our servers don't do math). You don't have to call IT. |

Admire the purity
Reconciliation on Fire [old name]
Source: Accounting Today, Feb 1, 2015
"We all love sharks because of their purity -- all they do is swim and eat. But how much more impressive would they be if they only focused on doing one of those things perfectly? That's the Zen state that Reconciliation on Fire has attained - it lets you compare two ranges, and that's all. Not swimming and comparing two ranges, not comparing two ranges and eating - just comparing two ranges. But once you start to think about it, you realize the vast number of times you need to do that exact thing in the course of your average day as an accountant."
Why do you need this?If you've ever tried to compare two sets of data, you already know the answer. If it's a lot of data, then the answer is even more obvious. But even if you've compared ten numbers on the left with ten numbers on the right, you know it's a pain. It's not worth your time to do that kind of work. Plus it's so easy to make a mistake when doing it manually. Numbers are often transposed and hard to see (especially after hours of work or when you have tight deadlines).

What does it do?
It lets you compare two sets of data. Just copy and paste in the text and numbers and dates from Excel, Google Sheets or any source into the text boxes. It finds discrepancies quickly. Excel gurus can build their own formulas to find discrepancies but that takes time and there's a learning curve. Now you can drag and drop a CSV file. Here are some real examples.
- Bookkeeping Problem: Bank information in accounting system doesn't reconcile with the bank statement. Solution: Export bank and accounting information. Run a compare. The differences pop out. Works with QuickBooks, NetSuite, or any accounting software.
- Accounting Problem: Someone made a prior period adjustment that is hard to find. Solution: Compare the original data to the new data. Export either the financials or the trial balance or the whole general ledger. Run a compare and the differences pop out.
- Finance Problem: Someone gives you a new model to evaluate. The accounts don't line up with your old model because the new model has different accounts. Solution: Compare the text of each account. The changes will pop out. Maybe you'll find a change in spelling?
- Contact Lists Problem: You haven't updated your contact list. You get a new list with lots of new names, but you don't know which ones are new or different. Solution: Compare lists with crusherrors.com and the differences will pop out.
- Email management: Let's say you email to groups. The members in the group change. Sometimes it's not easy to spot the changes. Find duplicates. Create list of new items for entry.
