Squirmy little things. Yech.

Try to design it for ease of entering the data. If you get a monthly
statement that shows everything, I'd put all the info on one page
("worksheet"). That makes it easier to type it in.

In general, all my account verification spreadsheets duplicate what is
done by the _other_ guys' computers. It's much easier to enter the data
since you just have to copy what's on the printed statement, and it's
much easier to find any typing mistakes because the "total" column on
the spreadsheet stops matching the "total" on the printed statement at
the line where the error occurs. Just use a column for a "datatype key"
so the spreadsheet knows what to do with each value, for example "B" for
a balance and "C" for a contribution.
