Frequently Asked Questions

What is the fastest way for bookkeepers to convert bank PDFs to QuickBooks?

The fastest workflow: export your client's bank statement as PDF from online banking, upload to Bank Statement Converter, select QBO output, and import the .qbo file directly into QuickBooks Online via Banking > Upload. This eliminates manual transaction entry entirely. For clients with multiple accounts, process each account statement separately — QuickBooks Online imports one bank account per QBO file. Running 5 clients' statements in a single session takes 10–15 minutes versus hours of manual entry.

Can bookkeepers use this for clients with older bank statements or scanned PDFs?

Yes. Bank Statement Converter handles both native PDF exports from online banking and scanned paper statement PDFs. Scanned statement quality affects accuracy — high-resolution scans (300 DPI or higher) with clean black-on-white text convert with high accuracy. For older statements from closed accounts or estate bookkeeping situations, scan at the highest available resolution. CSV output rather than QBO is recommended for scanned statements so you can review each row before importing into your accounting software.
