Your bank and your books, finally on the same page.
The Plaid integration connects your bank accounts and credit cards directly to HomeSource CBMS. Deposits post to the General Ledger automatically, credit card charges match to invoices without manual entry, and month-end reconciliation becomes a quick confirmation instead of an all-day project.

Your bank talks directly to your books.
The reconciliation still happens. The manual entry that used to fill it doesn't.
Deposits post themselves
Link your bank accounts through Plaid and every deposit you process posts straight to the General Ledger. No parallel spreadsheet, no re-entry, no month-end guesswork.
Charges match to invoices
Assign each card to a vendor and charges import on their own. Match mode pairs transactions with AP invoices, and returns are handled as negative invoices in the same place.
Month-end is a review
Because transactions flow in and match as they happen, close becomes a confirmation. Most variances surface before month-end, not three weeks after.
See what changes when your bank is connected.
The current way works. It just costs you hours every week and the first week of every month.
Every deposit and charge, entered by hand.
- Your bookkeeper keys in every deposit by hand, one at a time.
- Credit card charges live in spreadsheets outside the accounting system.
- Bank fees hit overnight and nobody catches them until month-end.
- The books are off by $47 and the search for the error takes all afternoon.
- Hours of reconciliation confirm the same number you already had.
- The books always lag a few days behind what the bank actually shows.
The way most retailers still reconcile today.
Connect once. Transactions flow in on their own.
- Bank accounts and credit cards connect directly through Plaid.
- Deposits post to the General Ledger automatically as you process them.
- Credit card charges import and match to open AP invoices in match mode.
- Up to 24 months of history pulls in on first connect, no manual imports.
- Variances surface before close, so a bank fee is caught this week.
- Your books reflect what your bank actually shows, every day.
How the Plaid integration changes it, inside the system you already use.
From the first deposit to month-end close, all in one place.
Four core capabilities cover the full reconciliation workflow, bank feeds and credit cards alike, without leaving HomeSource.
Bank Feeds
Link your bank accounts through Plaid and every deposit posts directly to the General Ledger. The statement date range, matched transactions, and any variances all live inside HomeSource. No parallel spreadsheets, no month-end guesswork.
Credit Card Reconciliation
Assign each card to a vendor, connect through Plaid, and charges import automatically. Each card maps to its own GL account, so the balance and the payment stay in step without a separate process.
Match Mode & Returns
Pair imported charges with outstanding AP invoices, filter by vendor, undo any match, and resume a session without losing progress. Return credits auto-create negative invoices and match to the corresponding transaction.
Month-End Bank Reconciliation
Pull your bank statement, review matched transactions, flag any variances, and close the period. With transactions already matched as they came in, this step is a fast review instead of a rebuild.
From first connection to closed books in five steps.
Link your accounts once, then let transactions flow in while your team reviews instead of re-keying.
Set Up Plaid
Configure your Plaid credentials in HomeSource settings. One secure setup covers bank accounts and credit cards.
Link Your Accounts
Connect each bank account and card. Each maps to its own GL account and begins pulling transactions automatically.
Process Deposits
Submit deposits through HomeSource. With Plaid connected, they post to the General Ledger with no separate entry step.
Match Transactions
Enter match mode to pair charges with AP invoices. Filter by vendor, undo matches, and resume any session.
Reconcile & Close
Pull your statement, resolve any variances, and close the period. Most of the work is already done.
Reconciliation becomes a confirmation, not a project.
When deposits flow in automatically and charges match against existing invoices, month-end becomes a review, not a rebuild. Most variances surface before close, not after. That is the difference between catching a bank fee this week and catching it three weeks from now.
Different value depending on where you sit.
See your cash position without waiting for month-end.
Deposits and charges flow in as they happen, so the books reflect what the bank actually shows. You get an accurate picture of cash on hand any day of the month, not just after close.
Confirm, don't key.
Deposits post themselves and charges arrive ready to match. Your job is to review the matches, resolve variances, and close, not to enter every transaction line by line.
One reconciliation workflow across every account.
Each bank account and card maps to its own GL account, managed from one place. Reconciliation runs the same way regardless of how many accounts or locations you operate.
