Who uses this?
Finance teams, controllers, founders, and operators who need to understand where cash goes when bank feeds or card exports are incomplete and statements only arrive as PDFs.
Can I categorize expenses after conversion?
Yes. Export structured rows, then tag categories in Excel, your BI tool, or a categorizer. Clean merchant names and consistent columns make coding much faster.
What output works best for expense reviews?
Excel and CSV with consistent date, description, debit, credit, and balance columns support pivots, vendor rankings, and month-over-month spend charts.
How accurate is extraction for spend analysis?
On digital and high-quality scanned statements, accuracy is typically 99%+. Review flagged rows on poor scans before you finalize cost-cut recommendations.
Is expense data secure?
Uploads are encrypted in transit and at rest. Files are processed automatically and deleted after processing. There is no human review of statement contents.
