Keep recordsExporting Binance transaction history? Choose the account and date range, check the file’s columns and first and last dates, and look for missing records.
Keep recordsBinance account statement or transaction history? See which file shows balances on a date, which explains changes, and how to use both without double counting.
Keep recordsTwo crypto export files share the same dates? Compare date ranges and possible duplicate rows before merging, and keep duplicates separate from missing records.
Keep recordsCSV dates a day off from your Binance account page? Keep original times, tell time-zone gaps from date-format errors, and set a clear month-end cutoff.
Find differencesBinance fee taken from a different coin? Find which asset paid the fee, tell gross from net amounts, and avoid deducting the same fee twice in your records.
Find differencesWallet-to-wallet transfers showing up as income? Decide which wallets you are checking, match both sides of each transfer, and avoid counting them as income.
Find differencesCan’t find a Binance Convert trade in your Spot trade export? Check Convert history, both assets and wallets, and avoid counting the same conversion twice.

EDITOR’S PICK / BEFORE SIGNING UPYour crypto ledger and exchange balance disagree at month-end. Pin down the first day they diverge with dated balance evidence or daily net changes, then read the shape of the gap.
Find differencesStarting a crypto ledger without last month’s balances? Backing the opening figure out of the month-end balance hides missing records. Log it as an open item, then source it from a dated statement, an older ledger or full history.
Month-endThree files called “final” for the same month, and two months later nobody knows which one holds the answer. Name each file by month, account alias, stage and version number, fingerprint the originals instead of editing them, and keep checked items and open items on separate lists that carry across months.
