A practice lives on repeatable workflows. This is the statement-conversion workflow that scales from one client to a full roster: intake, batch conversion, verification, import, review.
Every client banks somewhere different, and every bank lays out its statement PDF differently. Without a standard conversion step, each client's history arrives in a different shape and cleanup time balloons. A single converter that normalizes every bank into identical columns — and proves each statement against its own balances — makes the rest of the workflow identical for every client.
Clients do not see your keystrokes; they see books that tie to the bank. The reconciliation check on every conversion is what lets a practice hand work down to junior staff safely: a statement that reconciled can be imported, a flagged one gets senior eyes on the marked rows first. That gate is the difference between a workflow and a hope.
Convert per client per month into a predictable folder pattern, export in the client's software layout (QuickBooks or Xero), and keep the converter's per-statement result with the working papers. When a client asks why a month changed, the trail is one folder deep.
These are the general steps most banks follow for statement downloads; exact menu labels vary by bank and change over time.
Yes — there is no account or seat to manage; the tool runs in the browser and files are deleted within 15 minutes, so staff can convert as part of their normal workflow.
Where the statement prints opening and closing (or running) balances, the converter adds up the extracted transactions and compares the result with the statement itself. If the numbers do not tie, the conversion is flagged and the mismatched rows are marked — a failed check is never shown as a success.
No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
