QuickBooks + Landlords: Faster Bank Import
Landlords managing multiple properties need to track rental income and expenses from bank statements for tax returns. If you use QuickBooks for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Landlords Using QuickBooks
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into QuickBooks. Convert your bank statements to Excel to easily categorise rental income, maintenance costs, and mortgage payments for self-assessment.
The Landlords + QuickBooks Workflow
Landlords review bank statements to confirm tenant rent payments have been received, match maintenance invoices against bank debits, track mortgage interest payments for tax relief calculations, and collate all property-related transactions for their self-assessment tax return or accountant.
Key terms you'll encounter: rental yield, Section 24, allowable expenses, wear and tear allowance.
How It Works
Upload any bank statement PDF
Supports all major banks. Saves 1-2 hours per property per month on income and expense tracking, with portfolio landlords saving a full day each month across 10+ properties
AI formats for QuickBooks
Output as CSV with Date, Description, Amount — QuickBooks expects a single amount column where negative values are money out and positive values are money in — dates in DD/MM/YYYY for UK accounts, MM/DD/YYYY for US accounts.
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.
