What is a Journal Entry?

Journal entries can be used to reconcile your accounts or add manual entries.

For example, an expense such as a "Checking Account Monthly fee" could be added as a journal entry to ensure that your CARET Legal Checking Account balance matches the balance in your Checking Account.

Bookkeepers often use journal entries to reconcile accounts across various books and software programs.
