Executive Reconciliation

$11,760 household spending + $444 federal tax reserve = $12,204 calculated Executive Monthly Expenses.

Reconciled to the cent: no hidden expense adjustment.

Completed periods preserve budget as the plan and use imported actuals as historical truth. The current month feeds actual spending plus remaining obligations into FCC. Future months remain budget-based.

Quicken Actual Expenses

Import a Quicken CSV or QIF export. Duplicate transactions are skipped automatically. Transfers are not treated as expenses.
