Prepare PDF bank statements directly for DATEV
Drop one PDF or multiple PDFs here
Works with digital PDFs, scans, and photos from banks worldwide - retail, business, and fintech. Multiple PDFs are automatically processed as one batch and exported as a ZIP with individual CSV files.
Problem and solution
Banks export statements as PDFs, while DATEV requires structured import data. KontoCSV converts that PDF structure into a DATEV-compatible import workflow.

Which format DATEV expects
DATEV imports use a strict DATEV-ASCII/EXTF-like structure with fixed columns. KontoCSV builds this output directly from your PDF.

1190.00;S;EUR;1200;8400;05032026;Invoice 2051;Useful for firms and tax offices: multiple PDFs can be prepared for batch imports.

FAQ
Can I use the output in DATEV Unternehmen Online?
Yes. Use the DATEV export profile as an import preparation step, then review the mapping and balances in your DATEV workflow before posting.
Does KontoCSV support DATEV-ASCII and booking batches?
Yes. The output is structured for DATEV-style imports and recurring batch-oriented workflows, without claiming an official DATEV integration.
Is this suitable for tax firms with high volume?
Yes, especially when clients provide recurring PDF statements. Process a sample period first and keep one validation routine per client.
Do I need manual Excel edits first?
Usually no. Validate dates, signs, account mapping, and totals instead of changing financial values manually.
What source files are expected?
Regular PDF bank statements with readable booking rows and balances. Scans can work when OCR quality is sufficient.
