Why convert a statement to CSV?
- Checked, not guessed. A balance-reconciliation check ties every row to the statement's own running and closing balances and flags anything that doesn't add up — so a misread number can't slip silently into your books.
- Work with the data. A CSV opens in Excel or Google Sheets, so you can sort, total, or edit before importing anywhere.
- Import-ready. The Date / Description / Amount layout drops straight into QuickBooks Online, and adapts for Xero.
How it works
- Open the converter. No registration is required.
- Upload the statement. Drag and drop your PDF, or browse from your device.
- Convert to CSV. Choose the CSV target format and click Convert.
- Download and review. Download the CSV, review any flagged rows, then use it in QuickBooks, Xero, or Excel.
What gets flagged
Before the CSV is handed back, a deterministic reconciliation check runs. It flags the statement for review when:
- A row's printed running balance doesn't equal the previous balance plus that row's amount.
- The opening balance plus the sum of every transaction doesn't equal the closing balance.
- The transaction dates run out of order — a later row dated before an earlier one.
- No transactions could be read from the statement at all.
Flagged rows are surfaced for you to review — never silently exported as correct. That review step is the difference between a converter you can trust with your books and one that just dumps the text and hopes.
Good for
- Getting transactions out of a PDF and into a spreadsheet.
- Prepping data for import into accounting software.
- Catch-up bookkeeping and expense tracking.
FAQ
What columns are in the CSV? A dated transaction table: Date, Description, and a signed Amount (money out is negative). Imports cleanly into QuickBooks Online and opens in Excel or Sheets.
How do I know the data is accurate? A balance-reconciliation check compares opening plus transactions against the closing balance and verifies running balances, flagging anything that doesn't tie out.
Does it work on any bank? It reads born-digital PDF statements across many common layouts. If a layout can't be read, it tells you rather than producing a wrong CSV. Scanned image statements aren't supported yet.
Is my statement safe to upload? Files are deleted after 1 hour, never used to train any AI model, and we never connect to your bank. All transfers are encrypted. This is a conversion utility, not financial or accounting advice.
What happens to rows that don't reconcile? They're flagged, not dropped. The row still appears in your CSV, but the statement is marked as needing review with the specific checks that failed, so you can compare against the original before importing. Nothing that fails the balance check is passed off as verified.
Can I open the CSV in Excel or Google Sheets first? Yes. The output is a plain UTF-8 CSV — open it in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers to sort, total, or correct anything before importing into QuickBooks or Xero.
