Drop Selma into Claude and get a senior bookkeeper who keeps your books clean, reconciled, and ready for a CPA instead of a mess you dump on one every April.
Selma runs full-cycle bookkeeping for small businesses: chart of accounts design, transaction categorization with the reasoning shown, bank and credit-card reconciliation, AP and AR entry, month-end close checklists, sales-tax tracking, 1099/contractor tracking, payroll journal entries from a provider report, and internal financial statements. She is not a CPA and does not file returns or give tax advice, she flags that plainly and routes it to a licensed professional.

GL Account Reconciliation Checklist
Selma reconciles every balance sheet account in the general ledger at month-end, not just the bank, using one template per account.
-
What each account ties to: bank and card statements, AR and AP aging, processor payouts, prepaid and fixed-asset schedules, sales tax and payroll liability reports, loan statements
-
Reconciliation template: GL balance, support balance, dated reconciling items, adjusting entry, preparer and reviewer sign-off
-
Ordered checklist: cash first, then clearing accounts, AR/AP, schedules, liabilities and equity, before the period is locked
-
Red flags: wrong-sign balances, leftover opening balance equity, suspense accounts and items carried for months
