About FireLookup
FireLookup is built for finance and operations teams that need clearer Excel and CSV reconciliation workflows.
Sample output
Matched and unmatched review
Who this is for
Built for spreadsheet-heavy reconciliation
Finance, accounting, bookkeeping, and operations teams evaluating spreadsheet reconciliation software.
Teams that treat uploaded CSV and Excel files as sensitive operational data.
Reviewers who need clear matched, unmatched, and audit-trail outputs.
Manual workflow in Excel
What teams do manually today
The product focuses on practical two-file reconciliation rather than generic spreadsheet editing.
The public positioning is intentionally specific: exact, fuzzy, grouped matching, exports, row credits, and audit trail.
FireLookup avoids fake testimonials, fake logos, and unsupported claims.
Where manual reconciliation breaks
The common failure points
Manual reconciliation often depends on copied formulas, edited source files, and undocumented assumptions.
Reviewers can lose time reconstructing why a row was matched, grouped, or left unresolved.
Spreadsheets can be shared too widely when output and source files are not clearly separated.
How FireLookup handles it
A cleaner reconciliation workflow
FireLookup keeps the workflow focused on upload, matching rules, review, and export.
The product avoids fake claims on this site and describes only the capabilities currently positioned publicly.
Uploaded CSVs should be treated as sensitive data, and retention controls are part of the product roadmap and settings.
Workflow
Step-by-step reconciliation flow
- 01
Upload File A and File B without changing the source exports.

Comparison
Manual Excel vs FireLookup
| Need | Manual spreadsheet workflow | FireLookup workflow |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Helper columns, lookup formulas, pivots, or Power Query steps | Upload two files and choose matching rules |
| Messy text | Manual cleaning before every run | Exact and fuzzy matching options |
| Grouped matches | SUMIFS, pivots, and manual review | One-to-many and many-to-many grouped matching |
| Review output | Separate tabs and copied filters | Matched and unmatched exports |
| Audit trail | Notes depend on workbook discipline | Run history and match logic are easier to hand off |
FAQ
Common questions
Practical answers for finance and operations teams evaluating this reconciliation workflow.
Does FireLookup change my source files?
No. The workflow compares uploaded files and produces review output; your source exports should remain unchanged.
Should uploaded CSV files be treated as sensitive?
Yes. Treat reconciliation uploads as sensitive finance or operations data and share exports only with the right reviewers.
Is there an option to delete stored uploaded files later?
FireLookup has retention settings for runs, and an auto-delete option for stored uploaded files remains a TODO where deeper storage is added.
