Bill.com + Accountants: Faster Bank Import
Accountants spend hours manually entering client bank statements into bookkeeping software. With hundreds of transactions per client per month, this is the single biggest time drain in practice. If you use Bill.com for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Accountants Using Bill.com
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into Bill.com. BankScan AI lets you drag-and-drop any client's bank statement PDF and get a formatted Excel spreadsheet in seconds — ready to import into Xero, QuickBooks, or Sage.
The Accountants + Bill.com Workflow
Accountants typically receive client bank statements monthly, reconcile them against purchase and sales ledgers, post adjusting entries, and prepare management accounts. During year-end, they batch-process 12 months of statements for annual accounts preparation and corporation tax filings.
Key terms you'll encounter: nominal ledger, bank reconciliation, trial balance, management accounts.
