Clear Books + Pharmacies: Faster Bank Import
Pharmacies receive NHS reimbursements, prescription payments, and retail sales through multiple channels — making bank reconciliation complex. If you use Clear Books for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Pharmacies Using Clear Books
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into Clear Books. Convert your pharmacy bank statements to Excel to reconcile NHS payments, wholesaler invoices, and retail takings quickly and accurately.
The Pharmacies + Clear Books Workflow
Pharmacy owners reconcile monthly NHS BSA drug reimbursement payments against dispensing records, match wholesaler invoice payments to purchase orders, track retail OTC sales from card terminal deposits, and manage prescription charge income. The mix of NHS and private income streams flowing through one bank account requires careful separation.
Key terms you'll encounter: BSA reimbursement, FP34 endorsement, clawback, wholesaler credit.
