How to calculate Reconciliation Time

Reconciliation Time = Period-End Reconciliation Completion Date − Period Close Start Date

Why Reconciliation Time matters for Ramp users

Reconciliation is often the longest single task in the month-end close. Reducing it accelerates the availability of accurate financial statements and frees the finance team to focus on analysis rather than data wrangling.

Ramp users who maintain clean category mappings and high receipt compliance find that reconciliation becomes largely automated, shrinking close timelines from days to hours and significantly reducing the risk of material misstatement.

Understand and act on Reconciliation Time with KPI Tree

Track reconciliation start and completion timestamps in your warehouse alongside Ramp sync data, then compute elapsed time in KPI Tree. Place it in a close-process tree next to accounting integration accuracy.

Assign finance operations ownership and set period-over-period alerts when reconciliation takes longer than the prior close, signalling mapping or data-quality regression.
