Prepare PDF statements for QuickBooks

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.

Why convert PDF statements for QuickBooks

Statement PDFs are visual documents, not import-ready data tables.

QuickBooks workflows depend on clean transaction rows: date, booking text, debit or credit amount, and a mapping that matches your chart or categories.

KontoCSV prepares a structured export from the PDF so you can review the preview, test a small import, and reconcile balances before posting.

Focused on monthly QuickBooks import and reconciliation routines.

Import format, scans, and practical limits

Use a stable import mapping and validate dates, signs, and decimals before posting.

MT940 and CAMT.053 are available for standards-based workflows.

  • Input: native PDF statements and readable scans.
  • Output: structured import file for accounting workflows.
  • Run a short test import before full monthly rollout.
