FreshBooks + Veterinarians: Faster Bank Import
Veterinary practices handle client payments, insurance claims, pharmaceutical purchases, and equipment finance — all needing accurate reconciliation. If you use FreshBooks for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Veterinarians Using FreshBooks
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV / OFX formatted for direct import into FreshBooks. Convert your practice bank statements to Excel to match client payments, reconcile insurance reimbursements, and track pharmaceutical costs.
The Veterinarians + FreshBooks Workflow
Veterinary practices process daily client payments at reception, receive pet insurance direct settlements, pay pharmaceutical and surgical supply wholesalers, manage locum vet costs, and track lab test fees. Bank statements need reconciliation against practice management software billing records to ensure all invoiced treatments have been paid.
Key terms you'll encounter: direct settlement, practice management system, dispensing income, out-of-hours charges.
