The work between paid and posted

Getting paid is good.
Keying it all in isn’t.

The money arrives in one amount. The explanation arrives in a PDF, an email, or a spreadsheet. Someone still has to connect every line to the right invoice. That’s the work SteadMatch takes on.

The manual routine

Read. Find. Enter. Repeat.

  • Open the remittance and find each invoice in QuickBooks.
  • Enter the amounts, then work through deductions and partial payments.
  • Check the total and keep the supporting document close.

With SteadMatch

Start with the match already built.

  • Extract invoice references and payment amounts from the source.
  • Match against open invoices and surface what needs review.
  • Record validated allocations with an audit trail.

How it works

From remittance to recorded payment.

Keep QuickBooks. Keep your payment channels. Give your team a better way to connect the two.

  1. 01

    Bring in the remittance

    Connect your email workflow or upload a PDF, spreadsheet, or check scan. Start with the documents your customers already send.

  2. 02

    Build the invoice match

    SteadMatch extracts payment details and compares invoice references, customers, and amounts against your open QuickBooks invoices.

  3. 03

    Review what needs attention

    See suggested allocations and the reasons behind exceptions. Resolve short payments, deductions, and unclear references with the source in view.

  4. 04

    Record it in QuickBooks

    Validated payments go to Undeposited Funds. Start in dry-run mode, then enable posting once your team has verified the workflow.

Built for careful bookkeepers

Less busywork.
Keep the judgment.

A match is only useful if you can trust it. SteadMatch brings the details together so your team can focus on the payments that need a decision.

01

A reason behind every exception

A short payment should say what is short. An unclear invoice should show what needs checking. Your team gets a next action, not another mystery.

02

Your review comes before posting

Use dry-run mode to inspect matches first. Confidence and validation checks govern automatic posting; exceptions stay with your team.

03

A record you can follow

Follow the source document, invoice allocations, and recorded action. Keep the context you need to explain how a payment was applied.
