A transaction feed is useful, but it is not the independent evidence that closes a month. Zeno retrieves the bank-branded statement, reads it, matches it against the register, and sends genuine gaps back through the same rules and review queue as the feed.
It becomes a first-class document, an independent control, and a source of reviewable work. Nothing is posted twice, and Zeno does not turn an ambiguous line into a confident-looking guess.
The original PDF is not discarded after extraction. It stays linked to the financial account beside the parsed balance and transaction lines whenever a reviewer needs the bank's own evidence.
Zeno compares the statement period and lines against the register. Exact matches clear automatically; duplicates and ambiguous candidates remain visible without being invented into the ledger.
Only genuine statement-only activity is staged into the bank-feed queue. Rules, history, entity suggestions, and human approval apply there, while the reconciliation action remains visible in the audit trail.
Direct captures from the public Parkview Property Management sandbox on August 22, 2026. Sample names and financial data are synthetic; the product interface has not been recreated.
The same workflow works whether the statement arrived through Plaid or was uploaded by a person.
Fetch the exact statement, deduplicate it, and file it against the right account.
Extract its date, ending balance, and lines while retaining the original PDF.
Clear unambiguous matches using amount, date, reference, and context.
Separate missing activity from duplicates, ambiguity, and arithmetic problems.
Send only actionable missing lines into the existing feed review queue.
Post approved work and preserve the statement, decision, and audit lineage.
The feed does not certify itself. Zeno checks it against the institution's own statement.
Possible duplicates and close matches are shown instead of being guessed into the ledger.
Edits to reconciled activity surface as exceptions instead of silently changing a closed period.
