# How do I reconcile a month in Meses?

To reconcile a month in Meses, choose the property and month, add your expected-payment records and the bank statement for that same month, start the reconciliation and review the results. Meses proposes who each deposit belongs to; you confirm anything uncertain and, if you want, update your Google Sheet with verified changes.

## In short

- Each reconciliation belongs to one property and one month.
- You need two sources - your payment records and that month's statement.
- Nothing is written to your sheet until you review and approve it.

## 1. Choose a property and month

- Select “+ Reconcile a month” in the sidebar.
- Choose the property and month you want to reconcile, then continue.
- Each reconciliation is saved for that property and month, so you can come back to it later from the history.

## 2. Add the two required sources

- Add the resident and expected-payment records from Google Sheets or an uploaded file. If they are not ready yet, see [how to prepare your records](/en/help/preparing-records).
- Then add the bank statement PDF for the same month.
- You can also add payment receipts as optional supporting evidence.
- Check that both required sources are ready before continuing.

## 3. Run the reconciliation

- Meses finds your records, reads the statement deposits, compares payments and saves the results.
- You see the real processing stages while it runs.
- If Meses cannot validate a source or the statement is for a different month, follow the recovery instructions shown on screen before retrying.

## 4. Review and resolve payments

- Review the results by status: matched, suggested and needs review.
- Open suggested or unresolved payments to check the date, amount, reference and evidence.
- Confirm a suggestion, assign a resident with balanced allocations, or classify other income when appropriate.
- Manual decisions are saved separately from automatic matches. More in [understanding results](/en/help/understanding-results).

## 5. Optionally update Google Sheets

- When you are ready, use the sheet update action to review the proposed changes.
- Select the ready changes you want to apply.
- Meses confirms each change was written correctly; unresolved items or items without a clear place in your sheet stay out of the plan.
