Why Is Converting Credit Card Statements So Painful?

For Small Business

For Accountants & Bookkeepers

You manage dozens of clients on Xero and most send credit card PDFs alongside bank statements. Formatting each one into Xero's CSV spec — with the right sign conventions for charges vs. payments — eats hours every month-end.
