Accrual Tasks

Automate your Accrual ledger review using tasks

Accrual Tasks

When the Accrual ledger is enabled for a client, Kick automatically generates tasks on the Tasks tab to guide your accrual review.

Tasks are organized into an Accrual group and cover five workflows:

1. Review suggested invoice matches
2. Review suggested bill matches
3. Review suggested transfer matches
4. Review rule-suggested accrual ledger accounts
5. Review all other suggested accrual ledger accounts

Review suggested invoice matches

Kick proposes matches between incoming transactions and open invoices. When a payment applies to multiple invoices, Kick will propose multiple matches.

Confirming a match posts the transaction to Accounts Receivable (or a custom Receivables account) on the Accrual ledger rather than a revenue account, preventing double-counted revenue.

Matching is most accurate when invoices sync from a connected Stripe or Mercury integration.

To inspect or edit a match, click on the suggested match.

For more on how invoices sync and how to manage them, see Invoicing.

Review suggested bill matches

Kick proposes matches between outgoing transactions and open bills. When a payment applies to multiple bills, Kick will propose multiple matches. Confirming a match posts the transaction to Accounts Payable (or a custom Payables account) on the Accrual ledger rather than an expense account.

Matching is most accurate when bills sync from a connected Ramp integration.

For more on how bills sync and how to manage them, see Bill Pay.

Review suggested transfer matches

Kick surfaces transactions with a proposed transfer match — e.g. credit card payments matched to the corresponding payment in a credit card account, and bank-to-bank transfers within the same entity or across entities.

Confirm the proposed matches to post these transactions to transfer clearing accounts on the Accrual ledger.

Review rule-suggested accrual ledger accounts

This task covers transactions where an accrual rule has proposed an Accrual ledger account, but auto-confirm was not enabled on the rule.

Review the proposed accounts and confirm individually or click Confirm all to post in bulk.

Since these transactions are governed by rules you created, bulk confirmation is the typical workflow — but you can adjust individual accounts before confirming if needed.

Review accrual transactions

The "everything else" bucket. This task covers all transactions that have no proposed invoice match, bill match, transfer match, or accrual rule. For these transactions, Kick proposes posting to the same account as the cash ledger.

You can confirm transactions individually, or click Confirm all to post all of them to the Accrual ledger at once.

If Kick failed to propose an invoice, bill, or transaction match, it can be matched manually by hovering over the transaction → clicking the 3 dots menu → "Find the match."

Do I need to use Tasks to post to the Accrual ledger?

No, you can post directly from the Transactions tab, or enable Auto confirm in Accrual rules to handle it automatically.

I accidentally matched the wrong transaction to an invoice or bill. Can I un-match?

Yes. Immediately after matching, an undo button will appear. Click it to remove the match and reverse any journal entries on the Accrual ledger.

If you've already navigated away, go to the Transactions tab, find the transaction, open the Details panel, then select Actions and click the un-match icon.
