IRIS + Veterinarians: Faster Bank Import
Veterinary practices handle client payments, insurance claims, pharmaceutical purchases, and equipment finance — all needing accurate reconciliation. If you use IRIS for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Veterinarians Using IRIS
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into IRIS. Convert your practice bank statements to Excel to match client payments, reconcile insurance reimbursements, and track pharmaceutical costs.
The Veterinarians + IRIS 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.
How It Works
Upload any bank statement PDF
Supports all major banks. Saves 2-3 hours per week on reconciling client payments and insurance settlements against practice management system billing records
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.
