Including these in your scheduling calendars and/or task lists will make for very crowded screens, not to mention how inconvenient it can be to keep switching between applications.

Sometimes you’ll find that your balance in QuickBooks does not match your bank statement after a monthly reconciliation (you are doing your reconciliations monthly, right?) and that you need to undo your previous reconciliation to get to the bottom of things.
