Bank of America statement layout

BofA statements use a narrow five-column format: Date, Description, Deposits/Credits, Withdrawals/Debits, and Balance. Check numbers appear inline in the description column alongside ACH, wire, and Zelle references.

ClearlyLedger maps this layout into a standard six-column Excel output: Date, Description, Ref No, Debit, Credit, Balance — ready for reconciliation without reformatting.

Multi-page and multi-account statements

BofA combines checking, savings, and credit accounts into a single monthly PDF. ClearlyLedger detects page headers to isolate each account section and can export them as separate sheets or a merged file.

Balance verification runs per-account section so a credit card subtotal error doesn't mask a checking account problem.

Export to Excel, CSV, or accounting software

Every plan includes .xlsx and Standard CSV. Starter and above add QuickBooks- and Xero-specific exports with direct-import date order, signed amount fields, and payee description limits.

BoA observations to sample during review

  • No running balance per transaction — only daily ending balance section
  • Sub-section subtotals must be skipped to avoid double-counting
  • Multi-line descriptions for ACH and wire entries

These BoA details identify the rows most likely to need inspection after extraction. Review the first and final transaction, each PDF page boundary, and any row affected by the observations above before using the spreadsheet in an accounting import.
