Sage + Veterinarians: Faster Bank Import
Veterinary practices handle client payments, insurance claims, pharmaceutical purchases, and equipment finance — all needing accurate reconciliation. If you use Sage for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Veterinarians Using Sage
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into Sage. Convert your practice bank statements to Excel to match client payments, reconcile insurance reimbursements, and track pharmaceutical costs.
The Veterinarians + Sage 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 Sage
Output as CSV with Date, Details/Reference, Paid in, Paid out — Sage requires separate debit and credit columns rather than a single signed amount — dates in DD/MM/YYYY.
Import and reconcile
In Sage Accounting, go to Banking > select your bank account > Import statement. Upload the CSV, confirm column mapping (Date, Details, Paid in, Paid out), and import. Sage's bank reconciliation remembers previous matching rules, so repeat transactions from the same payee are auto-suggested for the same nominal code.
