On the Roadmap
Ledger · Commission Reconciliation

Catch every
dollar
that's owed.

Energy suppliers send commission statements in 140+ formats. Ledger reads them all, matches every payment to its underlying award, and surfaces the shorts before they pile up. The 5-figure annual leak that brokers accept as the cost of business — closed.

The Status Quo

Commissions are
where margin goes
to die.

Every retail energy broker has lost money on commissions they couldn't reconcile. The shorts add up — sometimes 5%, sometimes 12%, sometimes more. And every broker accepts it because chasing it down by hand is its own full-time job.

Ledger turns hours of cross-referencing payments into a one-click monthly reconciliation. The shorts surface themselves.

01
140+ supplier formats

Every supplier sends commission statements differently. Some PDFs. Some Excel. Some CSV with no header. Some embedded in PDF tables. Some in formats that change every quarter.

02
Manual matching is broken

Cross-referencing a 600-row commission file against your award book takes a senior employee a full day. They miss things. The reconciliation never quite ties.

03
Short payments go unnoticed

The $200 short here, $850 short there, the missing March payment that should have been $1,200 — they add up to five figures annually for a typical brokerage. Nobody has time to catch them all.

04
Year-end audit is a nightmare

Twelve months of reconciliation that was never done properly come due in January. The CFO rebuilds the year. Mistakes get baked in. Auditors ask questions you can't answer.

What Changes

Three things
that stop being
broken.

Brokers using Ledger close the books in a fraction of the time, recover commissions they would have written off, and walk into year-end with reconciliation already done.

01

Recovery

Ledger flags every short payment automatically — including the ones below your manual-review threshold. Recovered commissions, by themselves, typically pay for the tool many times over.

02

Speed

Drop the supplier statement in. Ledger reads it. Matches every line to your award book. Surfaces the discrepancies. The monthly close moves from a day to thirty minutes.

03

Audit Trail

Every payment, every match, every short — logged with timestamps and supplier source. Year-end audit becomes "here's the link" instead of three weeks of finance team archaeology.

Inside Ledger

Six capabilities
under the hood.

Ledger reads what suppliers send and reconciles it against what you're owed. The mechanics underneath:

Capability 01

Format Ingestion

Drop in any supplier statement — PDF, Excel, CSV, JSON, screenshot — Ledger parses and structures it. Format library covers 140+ supplier templates with new ones added on demand.

  • 140+ pre-mapped supplier formats
  • OCR for PDF and scanned files
  • Smart column inference for unknown formats
  • Format library extensible per broker
Capability 02

Award Reconciliation

Every paid line is matched against the award record in your Switchboard book. The match is exact: customer, account, supplier, term, rate, MWh basis. No fuzzy guesswork.

  • Direct link to Switchboard award records
  • Customer × account × supplier matching
  • MWh basis verification
  • Term & rate validation
Capability 03

Short-Pay Detection

Anything under-paid is flagged. Anything over-paid is flagged (yes, that happens). The supplier outreach happens with full data — payment, expected amount, calculation receipt — already attached.

  • Automatic short detection & calculation
  • Over-payment flagging
  • Discrepancy reasoning (why the math doesn't tie)
  • Auto-generated supplier dispute templates
Capability 04

Forecasting

Based on your award book, Ledger forecasts next month's expected commissions. Cash flow visibility for the broker who's spent years guessing. Plan hires, distributions, and reinvestment with numbers you can trust.

  • 30/60/90 day commission forecast
  • Per-supplier expected payment
  • Cash flow visualization
  • Variance analysis vs. actual
Capability 05

Year-End Reporting

The 1099-quality commission report your accountant has been chasing manually for years. By customer, by supplier, by quarter, by line — pre-reconciled, audit-ready, signed off.

  • By customer / supplier / quarter rollups
  • Audit-trail backed
  • 1099 export
  • Year-over-year variance reporting
Capability 06

Sub-Agent Splits

If you split commissions with sub-agents or originating partners, Ledger calculates the splits, generates statements, and tracks payouts. Your sub-agents get clean monthly statements; you stop building them in Excel.

  • Configurable split rules per agent
  • Auto-generated sub-agent statements
  • Payout tracking
  • 1099-NEC ready exports
Why It Matters

The math problem
nobody admits.

Industry benchmarks suggest the typical broker leaks meaningful commission revenue annually to short-pays they don't catch. Ledger is the recovery engine.
