Recommended workflow

  1. 1. Upload the original statement PDF.

    Use the source bank statement rather than a manually edited spreadsheet whenever possible.

  2. 2. Review extracted rows before import.

    Check dates, descriptions, debits, credits, and balances. Pay special attention to ambiguous dates and signed amounts.

  3. 3. Choose the destination export.

    Use QBO for QuickBooks where possible, Xero CSV for Xero, QIF for Quicken, or generic CSV/Excel for review and cleanup.

  4. 4. Import and reconcile.

    Import the converted file into your accounting system, then reconcile against the original statement.

Product roadmap fit

This problem maps directly to the product roadmap for destination presets, export-time date controls, preview warnings, reconciliation checks, bookkeeper batch workflows, and stronger security messaging.
