Reconcile supplier statements against your ledger
Upload a supplier statement and the matching ledger export. Hope separates matched lines from discrepancies and supporting evidence for human review.
Every month, someone on your team sits down with a stack of supplier statements, a spreadsheet of invoices, and a pile of purchase orders. They match line by line. They check amounts, dates, reference numbers. They hunt for missing credits and duplicate charges. It takes days. It delays month-end close. And the next month, it starts all over again.
Line-by-line matching takes days, not hours
Reconciling a single supplier statement against your ledger means cross-referencing dozens of invoices, amounts, and dates. Multiply that by every supplier, every month.
Duplicate invoices slip through unnoticed
When the same invoice is submitted twice with slightly different formatting or reference numbers, manual checks miss it. You pay twice and only find out months later.
Missing credits go unnoticed
A supplier owes you a credit note for returned goods or a pricing adjustment. But if it never appears on the statement, nobody chases it. The money just disappears.
Month-end reconciliation is dread
The close deadline looms, and supplier reconciliation is always the bottleneck. Unresolved discrepancies get carried forward, compounding the problem every month.

What file types does Hope accept?
PDF, Excel (.xlsx), and CSV files. Upload the documents you already have — no conversion or reformatting needed.
Does Hope update my accounting records?
No. Hope is a review assistant. It flags discrepancies and provides evidence, but it does not write to your ledger or accounting system. You stay in control.
What is three-way matching?
Three-way matching compares the purchase order, delivery evidence, and invoice. Arthur & Co describes this as a planned Hope workflow; it is not currently listed as a live dashboard workflow.
How does Hope handle different supplier statement formats?
Hope reads the document structure automatically. Whether your supplier sends a formatted PDF, an Excel export, or a CSV dump, Hope extracts the line items and matches them.
Is Hope available now?
Hope is available now for supplier statement reconciliation. Three-way matching is still described as a planned workflow.
Can I use Hope alongside Grant for contract and reconciliation workflows?
Yes. All Arthur & Co agents work from the same dashboard. Use Grant for contract review and Hope for supplier reconciliation — no switching between tools.
