Bill.com + Consultants: Faster Bank Import
Consultants managing multiple client engagements need to track retainers, milestone payments, travel expenses, and subcontractor costs across accounts. If you use Bill.com for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Consultants Using Bill.com
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into Bill.com. Convert your bank statements to structured spreadsheets to match client payments, track project expenses, and prepare invoices and tax returns efficiently.
The Consultants + Bill.com Workflow
Consultants invoice clients on retainer, milestone, or time-and-materials bases, then reconcile bank statements to verify payments received. They track project-specific expenses including travel, accommodation, and subcontractor fees, allocate costs to engagements for profitability analysis, and prepare records for quarterly VAT and annual tax returns.
Key terms you'll encounter: retainer, day rate, scope creep, utilisation rate.
