I'm gradually moving to beancount. So far I have history for all of 2018 to the present for my main checking account and two credit cards.
When I do balance checks, using balances from my PDF statements, one credit card is perfectly balanced; my checking account (most transactions by far) is nearly always spot on or less than a dollar off -- generally by the amount of the next interest payment, which for some reason doesn't appear until after the statement date. I can live with that, because I understand what's going on. The other credit card, however, is off by varying amounts each month, except for three months, which are spot on. Otherwise, it is between $19 and $170 off the other months, always described as too much by beancount. The difference rises and falls, and one of those perfect months is in right between a month that winds up $87 too high and another $170 too high. Has anyone run into anything like this? Obviously, I could have made an error each month reconciling downloaded transactions, but that seems unlikely when I did a decent job with the other two accounts. I kind of assume the problem is some mismatch between the dates on the downloaded transactions and the statement date (e.g., perhaps some charges posted on 1/31/2018 but after the statement was generated?). Anyway, hoping there's a simpler way of zeroing in on the problem than going through all the PDFs for the year...
