QuickBooks + Dentists: Faster Bank Import
Dental practices handle a mix of NHS and private payments, equipment purchases, and supplier invoices — all flowing through multiple bank accounts. If you use QuickBooks for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Dentists Using QuickBooks
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into QuickBooks. Convert your practice bank statements to Excel instantly, making it easy for your accountant to reconcile NHS payments, private fees, and practice expenses.
The Dentists + QuickBooks Workflow
Dental practices receive NHS schedule payments monthly from the BSA, process private patient card payments daily, pay dental suppliers for materials and lab work, and manage associate dentist fees. Bank statements must be reconciled against practice management software reports and NHS schedules to ensure all income is accounted for.
Key terms you'll encounter: NHS schedule payment, UDA value, associate earnings, BSA reconciliation.
How It Works
Upload any bank statement PDF
Supports all major banks. Saves 2-3 hours per month reconciling NHS schedule payments against bank statements, plus faster preparation for annual accounts
AI formats for QuickBooks

Import and reconcile
In QuickBooks Online, go to Banking > select your account > Link account > Upload from file. Select the CSV from BankScan AI, map the columns (Date, Description, Amount), and import.
