NetSuite + Tradespeople (Plumbers, Electricians): Faster Bank Import
Tradespeople receive payments from multiple customers, buy materials from suppliers, and manage van and tool expenses — often on the go with no time for bookkeeping. If you use NetSuite for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Tradespeople (Plumbers, Electricians) Using NetSuite
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into NetSuite. Convert your bank statements to Excel to track job payments, match material purchases, and get your books ready for self-assessment without hours of data entry.
The Tradespeople (Plumbers, Electricians) + NetSuite Workflow
Tradespeople receive customer payments via bank transfer, cash, or card, purchase materials from builders' merchants and wholesalers, pay for van fuel and maintenance, and manage tool and equipment costs. Most do their bookkeeping in the evenings or at weekends, matching bank transactions against job quotes and material receipts to calculate profit per job.
Key terms you'll encounter: day rate, materials markup, call-out charge, retention.

NetSuite's import wizard requires matching to an existing bank account. Multi-currency transactions need the currency code column. Duplicate detection uses date+amount, so identical transactions may need manual review.
