Broker Trust-Account Reconciliation AI Agent

Bring the bank balance, the book balance and the trust liability onto one cut-off date, itemise the differences with their evidence, and hold the pack for the broker, who reviews, signs and dates it.

What this agent does

Assembles the pack, not the signature on it

In
01

A bank feed, a journal and a beneficiary ledger set are pulled for one account from supported sources.

02

A deposit lands with a truncated originator string, so it is held as unidentified rather than posted.

Reason
03

The journal cash balance, the ledger balances and the reconciled bank balance meet on one date, as Colorado requires.

04

A beneficiary ledger in deficit is raised as a shortage, not netted — California deducts no such account.

05

A difference carries its evidence and a draft of the corrective action Florida records with the explanation.

Decide
06

An unidentified receipt, a deposit in transit or an outstanding cheque is aged from the date it first appeared.

07

A reconciliation falls due on the cadence the state sets, and the pack routes to the named broker of record.

Out
08

The pack, the source document behind each figure and the sign-off are retained on the state's clock.

09

Execute write actions only inside the approval boundaries agreed during implementation.

Product statement

Not one resident's balance against the property ledger: the account against what the brokerage owes everyone it holds money for — and the named broker of record reviews, signs and dates it.

Example workflow

One account, feed to signature

AgentHuman
1Cut-off date reachedBank statement, journal, beneficiary ledgers and the prior signed pack
2Balances assembledJournal cash balance, ledger cash balances and the reconciled bank balance, each with its source
3Differences itemisedReconciling items, unidentified receipts, ageing and confidence
4Controls appliedCut-off checks, negative-ledger checks, signatory and ageing checks and confidence threshold
No human action required

Stages 1 to 4 run unaided, and nothing is posted or adjusted at any of them — the agent is assembling, and the broker's lane opens at the confidence gate.

5DecisionDivides at the confidence threshold
High confidence

Goes to the broker of record to sign.

Low confidence

Adds a controller read first.

Broker sign-off

The pack is held with its differences, its ageing and the confidence.

Sign · Query · Send to controller review
Signed — dated and filed
6Reconciliation record updatedOnly where write access and approval policy allow it
7Outcome evaluatedUnexplained differences, ageing outcomes, examiner findings and post-signature corrections
Queries

Each broker query is counted in the evaluation.

What should not run autonomously

Human approval stays in control

Outside the boundary — human approval required8 items
Adjusting, posting or clearing a trust ledger entry.
Moving, instructing or scheduling client money.
Deciding that a difference has been explained.
Certifying that the account and the liability agree.
Automation boundaryAgent acts unaided
Pull the bank, journal and ledger balances for one cut-off date.
Itemise each difference and carry the evidence behind it.
Age unidentified receipts, deposits in transit and stale items.
Flag what the broker should weigh, and hold the pack for them.
The agent is read-only and never signs; nothing it produces moves client money.
Funding a shortage from any account.
Filing the Nevada annual accounting or the declaration.
Adding, removing or authorising an account signatory.
Changes to cut-off, threshold or state-rule configuration.

Example output

One difference, annotated

Everything the agent reports is attached to the document it came from — after signature that pack is what an examiner re-performs.

Value

Where AI adds value

The same four claims, placed at the point in the workflow where each one applies.

Where the value landsValue 01 – 04
Each trust accountFrom the bank and the ledger
03Assembly

Assemble from the record

Draw on the statements, journal and ledgers on file and the state rules configured for the firm.

01Approved path

Three balances, one date

Routine reconciling items arrive already itemised and aged.

02Human review

Send the read to the differences

Ledgers in deficit, unidentified receipts and stale items are marked, so the broker's read starts where risk concentrates.

04Build an evidence trail

The difference, the item behind it and the broker who signed stay on the reconciliation.

Integrations

Typical integrations

Five system groups connect to the same agent. Which of them are in scope is decided in discovery.

How Nestack evaluates it

Evaluate the assembly workflow — not only the closing figures.

Coverage runs the whole depth of the workflow, and every layer is cut by slice.

Affected slices

One account can carry most of the differences

A firm-level three-way agreement rate can read clean while a few accounts carry most of the unexplained differences. Nestack reports the unexplained-difference rate by account, not only in total.

Evidence-linked improvement

The loop closes on a new case

The loop shuts when the unexplained difference is a regression case. That suite is what the next month reconciled is measured against.

Improvement cycle · five stagesSwitchback — the path turns at Improve and returns at Learn
01Detect

Unexplained differences rise in one account type.

02Diagnose

The difference nobody could name, carried month after month, is traced back to the feed that dropped it.

03Improve

Any change goes out numbered, with the accounts that caused it attached.

04Verify

One reconciliation case still failing is enough to hold the release back.

05Learn

One case joins the suite, one line joins the account record.

Learn → DetectThe return edge. The next month reconciles against a suite one case longer.

Typical build scope

The chart is drawn in weeks of real work, and that is the reason week five holds a pair of bands.
