The Problem
Automatically extract transactions from monthly PDF bank statements and map them to QuickBooks categories, eliminating manual data entry. A workflow tool parses line items from the PDF and formats them as an importable file. The contractor goes from 3 hours of typing to a quick review-and-confirm step.
How It Works
Input
Monthly PDF bank statement from the bank
Transformation
AI-powered PDF extraction tool pulls transaction date, description, and amount from each line, maps recurring payees to QuickBooks categories using a rules table, and generates an IIF or CSV import file
Output
A ready-to-import transaction file for QuickBooks Desktop with categories pre-assigned, reducing 200-transaction data entry to a 10-minute review
Replaces3 hours of manual bookkeeping labor per month
