A bookkeeper needs to compile financial books from scratch for six restaurant locations across multiple years, but historical bank transactions are only available as non-downloadable e-statements that must be manually converted into importable files before accounting work can begin.
Existing accounting software cannot automatically process bank e-statements (PDFs or scanned images) that lack downloadable transaction files, forcing manual data entry or parsing.
Workarounds Described
- parse estatements to create an importable file for prior years
Implied Software Gaps
- A tool that automatically converts bank e-statements (PDF/image) into structured transaction data ready for accounting software import
StatementScribe
StatementScribe converts bank e-statements (PDF, image, or scanned paper) into importable transaction files (CSV, QBO, etc.) using AI-powered OCR and validation. It eliminates manual data entry, matches transactions across accounts and years, and speeds up bookkeeping for multi-entity clients. Better than existing tools because it handles messy, multi-page statements with poor formatting and outputs directly into accounting formats.
- AI-based OCR extraction of transaction data from scanned or PDF bank statements
- Automated formatting into CSV, QBO, or other accounting import formats
- Rule-based transaction categorization and account matching across multiple entities and accounts
- Bulk processing of statements from multiple periods and banks with error validation
