BankSheet

For US & UK bookkeepers

Bank statement PDF → Excel & CSV

Bank statement PDFs to clean Excel & CSV — built for bookkeepers

  • ✓ Balance reconciliation on every extract
  • ✓ QuickBooks Online & Xero export presets
  • ✓ Bank-aware parsers + generic fallback
  • ✓ Privacy-first: no long file retention

Month-end batch ready

Built for freelance bookkeepers and small firms who get PDF-only client statements and need clean imports into QBO/Xero — with a reconciliation check before you file.

What it does

You upload a text PDF from the client's bank portal. BankSheet extracts the lines, maps them into debit/credit (or signed amount) columns, shows a preview, runs a balance check, then lets you download Excel or CSV — including QuickBooks Online and Xero presets — so you can import without retyping.

Who it's for

Freelance bookkeepers and small firms in the US and UK who get stuck with PDF-only statements at month-end. If you're doing catch-up books, onboarding a new client, or batching several banks into QBO or Xero, this is the workpaper step between the portal download and the import screen.

How it compares to Bank Statement Converter & DocuClipper

Generic “bank statement converter” tools often stop at a raw spreadsheet. BankSheet is bookkeeper-first: bank-aware parsers, QBO/Xero column presets, and an explicit opening + movements vs closing check before you download. Compared with DocuClipper-style document platforms, we stay focused on statement → spreadsheet conversion with short in-memory retention — not a long-term document vault.

How the balance check works

When the statement shows opening and closing balances, we compute opening + net credits − net debits and compare that to the stated closing balance (within a small tolerance). You see pass / fail / incomplete on the preview so you catch a missed page or bad parse before anything hits QuickBooks or Xero.

Convert bank statement PDF

Extract transactions with unpdf, preview, reconcile balances, then download CSV/XLSX (standard, QuickBooks, or Xero).
