Sage + Annual Company Accounts: Complete Workflow
Preparing for annual company accounts and using Sage? Preparing annual accounts for Companies House requires reconciling a full year of bank transactions. Many small companies still rely on PDF statements from their bank. BankScan AI bridges the gap between your bank's PDF statements and Sage's import feature.
BankScan AI → Sage for Annual Company Accounts
Convert bank statement PDFs to CSV formatted for Sage import. Convert your full year of bank statements to Excel for fast reconciliation, trial balance preparation, and Companies House filing.
How It Works
Upload your bank statement PDF
Supports all major banks. Upload Full financial year (12 months), aligned to the company's accounting reference date of statements.
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 use for annual company accounts
Upload into Sage and use the reconciled data for annual company accounts.
Supported Banks
BankScan AI works with all major UK and US banks, including:
Sage + Annual Company Accounts Features
- Sage ready — Output formatted as CSV matching Sage's expected column structure
- Smart integration — Sage's bank reconciliation remembers previous matching rules, so repeat transactions from the same payee are auto-suggested for the same nominal code.
- Built for Annual Company Accounts — Convert your full year of bank statements to Excel for fast reconciliation, trial balance preparation, and Companies House filing.
Import for Annual Company Accounts into Sage
After converting your bank statements for annual company accounts:
- In Sage Accounting, go to Banking > select your bank account > Import statement

Common Import Issues
Sage requires separate Paid in/Paid out columns — a single Amount column will fail. Also rejects imports where the date column contains time stamps.
