Convert Bank Statement to QuickBooks privacy boundary

A reviewer should download and inspect the QuickBooks result before relying on it for bookkeeping, tax, lending or reconciliation work.

Convert Bank Statement to QuickBooks questions

Does this work for both QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop?

The supported export is a QuickBooks Online CSV. QuickBooks Desktop's Web Connect flow requires a .qbo file, which ClearlyLedger does not currently generate.

What if my statement isn't a PDF?

Scanned or photographed statements are accepted too — image-based files run through OCR before the same parsing and balance-verification pipeline used for text-based PDFs.

How is this different from the dedicated PDF bank statement to QuickBooks page?

That page covers QuickBooks Online CSV formatting choices (3-column vs 4-column and category mapping). This page also explains the current Desktop Web Connect limitation.

Can I use it for Excel too?

Yes. The same underlying conversion also maps cleanly to Excel review if you need a spreadsheet before importing.
