Societe Generale extraction details

Accented text can extract inconsistently from PDFs, so the parser handles both accented and unaccented French labels.

Card, transfer and direct-debit rows keep merchant or counterparty context in the Description field.

Verified Excel output

The exported spreadsheet uses Date, Description, Debit, Credit and Balance columns with EUR amounts converted from French number formatting.

Running and closing balance checks help detect missing rows before the output is used for bookkeeping or lender review.

What this page covers

Convert Societe Generale statements to Excel explains how ClearlyLedger converts bank statement PDFs into spreadsheet-ready data while preserving transaction dates, descriptions, debit amounts, credit amounts and balances. The page is written for accountants, bookkeepers, finance teams and business owners who need reliable Excel or CSV output instead of manual copy-paste.

How ClearlyLedger verifies output

The converter checks extracted rows against statement balances wherever the PDF provides enough information. That means opening balance plus credits minus debits should reconcile to the closing balance before you use the exported file in bookkeeping, tax preparation, lending review or account reconciliation.

Supported exports and privacy

ClearlyLedger exports clean Excel and CSV files for spreadsheet review and accounting workflows. Source PDFs are processed securely, are not used to train AI models, and are deleted after processing according to the site's data-retention policy. The same conversion workflow supports recurring close, tax, lending and reconciliation review.

Accuracy workflow

The extraction flow separates statement chrome from transaction rows, normalizes date and amount formats, preserves long descriptions, and flags rows that need human review. The goal is not only to create a spreadsheet, but to create an audit-friendly file that can be filtered, sampled, and reconciled before it enters QuickBooks, Xero, Excel, or a lender review pack.

Who this helps

Accountants use ClearlyLedger when clients send historical PDFs instead of bank feeds. Bookkeepers use it for monthly close and catch-up work. Finance teams use it for reconciliation, cash-flow analysis, loan applications, tax preparation, and multi-bank review where manual copy-paste would be slow and error-prone.

What to review before using the export

Before importing the file into accounting software, review the statement period, opening and closing balances, any low-confidence rows, and the first and last transaction on each page boundary. These checks catch the mistakes most common in PDF extraction: repeated headers, skipped wrapped descriptions, subtotal rows, sign reversals, and dates that were inferred from a statement period rather than printed on every row.

For client work, keep the original PDF beside the exported spreadsheet during review. The PDF remains the source document, while the Excel or CSV file becomes the working ledger used for filtering, coding, reconciliation, and upload into downstream bookkeeping systems.
