Banking Overview
The Banking Overview is the landing tab of the Banking module. It answers what a business asks first about cash — how much is on hand, what came in, what went out, and whether anything is left unreconciled.
Where to find it
Go to Banking. Overview is the first tab.
Summary cards
| Card | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Cash on Hand | The combined balance across your active bank and cash accounts. |
| Inflow (Month) | Deposits and receipts this month. |
| Outflow (Month) | Payments made this month. |
| Net Cash Flow | Inflow less outflow for the month — whether the business generated cash or consumed it. |
| Reconciled | How much has been matched to statements. When nothing is outstanding it reads All reconciled. |
| Bank Accounts | How many active accounts you hold. |
Read Cash on Hand and Reconciled together. A healthy cash figure means little if a large share of it is unreconciled — that is a balance nobody has yet confirmed against a bank statement.
Cash Flow
A trend of inflow against outflow over time, selectable across the last month, six months or year. It shows direction rather than a single month in isolation, which is what makes it useful for spotting a slide before it becomes a problem.
Recent Bank Transactions
| Column | Description |

| Amount | The value, in or out. |
| Status | Whether it has been reconciled. |

Using the Overview day to day
- Check Cash on Hand against what you expect to pay out this week.
- Check the reconciled position. A growing unreconciled balance means statements are not being matched.
- Look at Net Cash Flow over six months rather than one — a single month is noise.
- Scan Recent Bank Transactions for anything unexpected.
