Square and Zoho reconciled every morning, not at month-end.
Every Square transaction — sales, refunds, fees, deposits — matched against Zoho accounting entries daily. Mismatches surface the day they happen, not at month-end.

Discrepancy flagged same day with transaction details
Month-end reconciliation is a multi-day nightmare for retail businesses.
A restaurant with 3 locations processes 200+ Square transactions daily. At month-end, the bookkeeper exports transactions from Square, exports entries from Zoho, and starts matching. Deposits don't line up because Square batches transactions and deducts fees before depositing. Refunds processed on the 28th don't appear in the bank until the 3rd. The first two days of every month are spent reconciling, not closing.
The longer you wait to reconcile, the harder it gets. A $340 refund was processed in Square but never recorded in Zoho. A deposit is $47 short because Square's processing fee was not booked. By month-end, there are 40+ discrepancies and nobody remembers the context. What should take hours takes days.

Frequently asked questions
Square groups multiple transactions into a single bank deposit and deducts processing fees. ZeroTwo breaks down each deposit into its component transactions, matches each one individually against Zoho, and accounts for the fee deduction.
ZeroTwo pulls transactions from each location separately and reconciles them independently. The daily report shows discrepancies grouped by location so you can see which locations have issues and which are clean.
Yes. If Square collected tax at one rate but Zoho has a different tax entry, ZeroTwo flags the mismatch with both amounts. This catches common issues like tax rate changes that were updated in one system but not the other.
ZeroTwo connects to Square, Shopify, and Stripe Terminal via API. If your POS exports transaction data in a structured format, ZeroTwo can ingest it. The matching logic is the same regardless of POS provider.
No. ZeroTwo handles the matching work that eats up your bookkeeper's time. Your accountant still reviews flagged discrepancies, makes journal entries, and closes the books. The difference is they start with a clean reconciliation instead of building one from scratch.
