Coconut + Solicitors: Faster Bank Import
Solicitors reviewing financial disclosure in divorce, fraud, or commercial cases need to analyse bank statements quickly and accurately. If you use Coconut for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Solicitors Using Coconut
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into Coconut. Convert client and third-party bank statements to searchable, sortable Excel spreadsheets for faster case analysis and evidence preparation.
The Solicitors + Coconut Workflow
Solicitors receive bank statements as part of financial disclosure in family, fraud, or commercial litigation. They review statements to trace assets, verify income claims, identify suspicious transactions, and prepare schedules for counsel. Statements are often cross-referenced against Form E declarations in family proceedings.
Key terms you'll encounter: financial disclosure, Form E, asset tracing, client account reconciliation.
