Reconcile Square and Your Bank Account in Minutes, Not Hours

Adaptive pulls data from Square and your bank via Plaid, matches transactions to deposits automatically, flags anything that does not add up, and produces a clean reconciliation report.

I spend two hours every week matching Square deposits to my bank account. The amounts never line up because of fees and batching. Can you automate this?

That's a perfect use case. Let me connect to your Square account and your bank through Plaid so I can pull both sides automatically.

Square connected

Main St Bakery · daily transaction access

My business checking is at Chase. Connect that too and match the deposits to Square payouts.

Done. I've linked your Chase account through Plaid and matched the last 30 days of Square payouts to bank deposits. Three deposits had discrepancies — all were processing fee deductions, which I've itemized for you.

30 days matched · 3 fee discrepancies flagged

That's exactly the kind of thing that takes me forever. Can you put this in a Google Sheet and do it automatically every week?

Set up. Every Monday morning, I'll reconcile the prior week's Square payouts against your bank deposits, flag any discrepancies, and update a Google Sheet with the full reconciliation log. You'll get an email if anything doesn't match.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about square-to-bank payment reconciliation.

Square deducts processing fees and batches transactions before depositing. The deposit amount is your net sales minus fees, often covering multiple days. Adaptive breaks this down automatically — matching each deposit to the underlying transactions and showing the exact fee deduction.

Adaptive connects to both your POS system and your bank account, pulls transaction data from both sides, and matches payouts to deposits automatically. It accounts for fees, refunds, and batching delays. Any discrepancy is flagged with an explanation.

Adaptive pulls fee data directly from Square and breaks it down per payout period. You see exactly how much was deducted in processing fees, whether any chargebacks occurred, and what the net deposit should be — all in a Google Sheet updated automatically.

Yes. Adaptive reconciles your Square transactions with your bank deposits, categorizes fees and refunds, and produces accountant-ready reports in Google Sheets — on a schedule you set. It replaces hours of manual cross-referencing every week.

About 10 minutes. You connect your Square account and your bank through Plaid, tell Adaptive how often to reconcile, and it handles the rest. It can also backfill historical data so you start with a complete reconciliation history.
