Tide + FreshBooks: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your Tide Business Banking bank statement into FreshBooks? Tide uses DD/MM/YYYY and single Amount column with category tags, invoice references, and running balance — which needs converting to CSV / OFX (Date, Description, Amount — FreshBooks supports single amount column (negative for expenses) or separate Debit/Credit columns) for FreshBooks import.
