TWO SYSTEMS.
ONE SET OF BOOKS.

The two ledgers don’t need to look alike.
The bridge still needs to reconcile.

Deterministic checks on supported cash transactions, with non-cash and unsupported activity disclosed separately. No model reads your money: the same two files always produce the same findings.

Upload two exports of the same books, one from your property software and one from QuickBooks. Confirm the same company or owner, activity, property coverage and currency before comparing. Use the same accounting basis on both exports. In the full report, findings link back to their source rows. This ordinary comparison does not establish fee entitlement or trace transfers between property and company books.

Berean checks each file’s arithmetic, then compares only the dates both exports cover.

A count. A dollar total. And in the full report, the exact ledger rows behind each difference.

Recorded differences each need a human decision. That is not recovered cash, and Berean will not call it that.

We read. We compare.
You decide what comes next.

01 / Read-only by design

Berean never signs in to your source systems, changes an entry, or moves money.

02 / Nothing retained in the free audit

It runs entirely in memory. No ledger row from a free audit is written to a database or to disk. The rows are gone when the request ends. A workspace keeps your two ledgers and every comparison it has run.

03 / Uncertainty, stated plainly

Your files are checked before anything is compared. When Berean can’t tell, it says so. It compares only the dates both files actually cover, and says plainly what it left out on each side.

A LITTLE MORE
CLARITY.

Aren’t the two systems supposed to differ?

Sometimes. Start with records for the same company or owner, activity, property coverage and currency. A property's trust ledger and the management company's corporate books serve different purposes and must not be compared as though every transaction belongs in both. Monthly summaries and deposits after fees need a separate review when they cannot be linked to the underlying detail. A difference is a question to investigate, not missing money.

Does a match mean the books are correct?

It means the supplied records agree within the comparison's scope. Both exports can contain the same wrong charge. Berean does not replace supporting invoices, agreement terms, or bank and trust reconciliation.

My bookkeeper already does this.

Keep them. Berean hands them a deterministic exceptions list with the source rows attached, so month-end starts at the evidence instead of starting at the search. The same two files always produce the same list.

Is exporting my data even allowed?

A general-ledger export is a standard feature of both platforms and you run it yourself. Berean never signs in anywhere on your behalf. Upload only data your company is authorised to process.

Which exports can I use?

Unedited general-ledger CSV exports from Buildium or AppFolio, and QuickBooks Online. The free audit accepts up to 3 MB for the two together, and 25,000 rows per file. It compares only the dates both exports cover.

What happens before anything is compared?

Your files are checked before anything is compared: a missing required column; a row with no account or no date; a property-software row with no amount; a file with no rows or more than it will accept; journals whose debits and credits do not balance; section totals that disagree with the rows under them.

Some of those refusals name the exact problem: a column that is not there, a file with no rows. Others report how many rows did not check out and refuse the file whole. Either way nothing is read from either export, and nothing is compared until you fix it.

When a file cannot be read at all, the message carries a short reference code. Quoting it tells Berean exactly which check stopped it, and the code travels without carrying a ledger row.
