GoCardless + Ledge Integration
By integrating GoCardless and Ledge, finance teams automatically pull and prepare bank debit and collections data for the close, so reconciliations and cash receipts are ready for review instead of rebuilt manually.
Reconcile collections and cash without rebuilding GoCardless reports every month
But during the close, finance teams must navigate the busywork of exporting GoCardless reports, rebuilding reconciliation logic in spreadsheets, and manually tying collections and payouts to the GL.
This creates recurring friction where collection activity, failed payments, and settlement timing differences are rebuilt every period before accounting work begins.
Ledge removes that rebuild. AI agents pull GoCardless data directly into the close and prepare collections reconciliations, payout tie-outs, and supporting workpapers automatically.
What makes GoCardless + Ledge different
GoCardless workflows include payment creation, submission, failure, retry, and settlement, which create timing differences between collection activity and cash.
AI agents, purpose-built with Ledge agent studio, pull this data and prepare reconciliations that reflect the full lifecycle of each collection without manual reconstruction.
Failed collections and retries often create reconciling items that are difficult to track across periods.
Ledge generates Excel workpapers with full traceability from GL balances back to underlying GoCardless transactions, including retries and settlement outcomes.
How the GoCardless + Ledge integration works
Securely connect GoCardless to Ledge in minutes using API credentials, with support for multiple entities and accounts.
Use Ledge’s Agent Studio to define how GoCardless data supports your close, including collection matching and settlement logic, in plain language.
Agents automatically pull fresh GoCardless data, rebuild workpapers, and prepare reconciliations each period so your team starts in review.
