Bookkeeping FAQ
Why convert bank statements for bookkeeping?
Most clients send PDFs, not bank exports. Bookkeepers need structured rows to categorize expenses, match deposits, and post journals. Conversion turns PDFs into Excel or CSV you can work with in minutes.
Does this replace bank feeds in QuickBooks or Xero?
No. It fills the gap when feeds are missing, incomplete, or when clients only have PDFs. You still import or copy clean data into your bookkeeping software after conversion.
Can I process multiple client statements?
Yes. Convert one file at a time or use bulk conversion on Pro plans during month-end and tax season when volume spikes.
What output works best for bookkeeping?
Excel and CSV with consistent date, description, debit, credit, and balance columns map cleanly into spreadsheets, QuickBooks imports, and Xero statement imports.
How accurate is extraction for client books?
On digital and high-quality scanned statements, accuracy is typically 99%+. AI normalizes merchants and dates so you spend less time fixing rows before coding.
Is client financial data secure?
Uploads are encrypted in transit and at rest. Files are processed automatically and deleted after processing. There is no human review of client statements.
