Why convert for QuickBooks Online?
- The numbers tie out. A balance-reconciliation check compares opening + transactions against the closing balance and verifies any running balances, flagging anything that doesn't add up — so a misread amount doesn't reach your books.
- Built for the QBO upload flow. The 3-column Date / Description / Amount layout is exactly what QuickBooks Online's Upload from file importer expects, so mapping is trivial.
- Under the upload limit automatically. Long statements are split so each file stays within QuickBooks' 350 KB / 1,000-line cap — no manual trimming.
How it works
- Open the converter. No registration is required.
- Upload the statement. Drag and drop your PDF, or browse from your device.
- Convert to QuickBooks CSV. Choose QuickBooks CSV as the target format and click Convert.
- Upload in QuickBooks Online. Download the CSV, review any flagged rows, then go to Transactions → Link account → Upload from file and map the columns.
What gets flagged
Before the CSV is handed back, a deterministic reconciliation check runs. It flags the statement for review when:
- A row's printed running balance doesn't equal the previous balance plus that row's amount.
- The opening balance plus the sum of every transaction doesn't equal the closing balance.
- The transaction dates run out of order — a later row dated before an earlier one.
- No transactions could be read from the statement at all.
Flagged rows are surfaced for you to review — never silently exported as reconciled. You upload into QuickBooks Online with the totals already tied to the statement, or with a clear list of which rows to check first.
Good for
- Getting a closed-account or feed-less bank into QuickBooks Online.
- Catch-up bookkeeping across many months at once.
- Statements too long for a single QuickBooks upload.
FAQ
How do I upload the file in QuickBooks Online? Go to Transactions, choose Link account, then Upload from file, and select the CSV. Map the Date, Description, and Amount columns, pick the bank account, and confirm — QuickBooks then shows the transactions for review before you add them.
What's the 350 KB / 1,000-line limit? QuickBooks Online rejects a single CSV upload over 350 KB or 1,000 transactions. The converter automatically splits long statements into files that each stay under the limit, so you upload them one after another.
What happens to rows that don't reconcile? They're flagged, not dropped. The transaction still appears in the file, but the statement is marked as needing review with the specific checks that failed, so you can verify against the original PDF before importing. Nothing that fails the balance check is passed off as reconciled.
