Coconut + Landlords: Faster Bank Import
Landlords managing multiple properties need to track rental income and expenses from bank statements for tax returns. If you use Coconut for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Landlords Using Coconut
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into Coconut. Convert your bank statements to Excel to easily categorise rental income, maintenance costs, and mortgage payments for self-assessment.
The Landlords + Coconut Workflow
Landlords review bank statements to confirm tenant rent payments have been received, match maintenance invoices against bank debits, track mortgage interest payments for tax relief calculations, and collate all property-related transactions for their self-assessment tax return or accountant.
Key terms you'll encounter: rental yield, Section 24, allowable expenses, wear and tear allowance.
