By segmenting data into meaningful subsets, buckets make critical information easily accessible and actionable, enabling users to identify trends, address discrepancies, and make informed decisions. With in-depth insights, effortless navigation of historical data, and clear graphical representations, buckets streamline the reconciliation process, enhance compliance, and support data-driven financial decision-making.
