EZ Bank Statement

Bank statements in. Import-ready books out.

EZ Bank Statement converts your clients' bank statement PDFs into files that import cleanly into their accounting software — in the exact format that software expects. It's built for bookkeeping and accounting firms, especially firms working through bulk catch-up and back-books projects.

Who it's for

Firms and bookkeepers with ten or more clients, where statement conversion is a recurring chore rather than a one-off. A new client shows up with a year of PDF statements and no bank feed — you need the transactions in QuickBooks, Xero, or whatever they run, in the format that platform actually accepts. That handoff is the whole product.

The catch nobody warns you about: “CSV import” means something different on every platform. Column order, sign conventions, and date formats all conflict — and QuickBooks Desktop doesn't take CSV at all. We handle the dialects so your team doesn't have to memorize them.

How it works

1. Upload the statements

Send us the client's bank statement PDFs — scanned or digital, one month or a full catch-up year. Bulk back-books is the normal case here, not the exception.

2. Get your import file back

Every transaction is extracted and written in the exact dialect your accounting software expects — the right file type, column order, sign convention, and date format for that platform, so it imports without a mapping fight.

3. Import — optionally categorized

Import the file and reconcile. If you want, transactions can come back categorized against the client's chart of accounts, with payees cleaned up the way QuickBooks rules would — so the file lands in the books, not in a cleanup queue.

Formats we produce

One upload, the right file for each client's software:

  • QuickBooks Desktop — .qbo Web Connect & IIF

    Desktop has no native CSV bank import at all. We produce the .qbo Web Connect file (or IIF) it actually accepts.

  • QuickBooks Online — CSV, OFX, QFX & .qbo

    Including the 3-column and 4-column CSV layouts, within Intuit's row and file-size limits.

  • Xero — CSV & OFX

    Xero's single signed-amount CSV layout, or OFX — Xero's preferred no-mapping format.

  • Wave — CSV & OFX

    Wave's date / deposit / withdrawal layout, with credit-card signs handled the way Wave expects — opposite of Xero.

  • Sage — CSV & OFX

    The Sage Accounting 3- and 4-column CSV layouts in the right column order, or OFX.

  • FreshBooks — CSV

    FreshBooks' chronological CSV format, with amount spent / amount earned split correctly.

  • Zoho Books — CSV, TSV & OFX

    For the banks Zoho's own PDF import doesn't cover, in the layout Zoho maps cleanly.

  • NetSuite — fixed-template CSV & OFX

    NetSuite's rigid nine-column CSV template, field lengths and date format included.

  • Plain CSV, QIF & Excel

    For anything else in your stack — a clean, consistent transaction file you can adapt.

Why not just use a generic converter?

Generic converters sell page quotas to anyone and hand you a spreadsheet. We're built around the firm workflow instead: per-statement simplicity instead of expiring page bundles, the platform dialects other converters skip, and payee cleanup so transactions arrive recognizable. Fewer surprises at import time, fewer hours lost to cleanup after it.
