Why Is Converting Bank Statements So Painful?

For Personal Use

Your bookkeeper asked you to upload your bank statement to Xero but Xero will not accept a PDF. You tried saving it as CSV and got a mess of text. You need the format Xero actually wants.

For Small Business

For Accountants & Bookkeepers

You manage 20+ clients on Xero and half their banks do not support direct feeds. Manual CSV formatting for each bank layout eats into billable hours.
