IRIS + Cleaning Companies: Faster Bank Import
Cleaning companies manage recurring client payments, staff wages, supplies purchases, and vehicle costs — often across residential and commercial contracts. If you use IRIS for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Cleaning Companies Using IRIS
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into IRIS. Convert your bank statements to Excel to reconcile client payments against contracts, track staff costs, and manage supplier accounts efficiently.
The Cleaning Companies + IRIS Workflow
Cleaning company owners reconcile client contract payments (often recurring standing orders) against their client list, pay cleaning staff wages weekly or monthly, purchase cleaning supplies and equipment, and manage vehicle fuel and maintenance costs. Bank statements are used to verify which clients have paid, identify late payers, and ensure staff payroll has cleared correctly.
Key terms you'll encounter: contract rate, hourly rate, deep clean, consumables.
How It Works
Upload any bank statement PDF
Supports all major banks. Saves 2-3 hours per week on client payment tracking and staff payroll reconciliation for a cleaning company with 20+ regular clients
AI formats for IRIS
Output as CSV with Date, Narrative, Debit, Credit — IRIS uses Narrative instead of Description and requires separate Debit/Credit columns — dates in DD/MM/YYYY.
Import and reconcile
In IRIS Accountancy Suite, open the client file, go to Bank > Import Transactions. Select the CSV file, map columns to Date, Narrative, Debit, Credit, and import. IRIS links bank transactions directly to tax computations, so imported statements feed into both bookkeeping and tax return preparation simultaneously.
