“ADP reports suck. I've done a full manual reconciliation of three years of a client's books I just inherited and every year has a weird item or three. I've accounted for EOY timing but still there are random extra transactions in the bank accounts labeled as ADP taxes that aren't on their reports, or amounts on their reports that aren't in the (reconciled) books. So frustrating that they can't just provide complete and clear reports to save us all a zillion hours of running around fixing up their imprecision and omissions. Very disappointing”
