Taxfiler + Architects: Faster Bank Import
Architects bill in stages against project milestones, manage professional indemnity costs, and track expenses across multiple projects simultaneously. If you use Taxfiler for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Architects Using Taxfiler
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into Taxfiler. Convert your bank statements to structured spreadsheets to match stage payments against projects, track professional fees, and prepare for your accountant.
The Architects + Taxfiler Workflow
Architects invoice clients at RIBA work stages (concept, developed design, technical design, construction), then reconcile bank statements to verify payments received against each project. They track project-specific expenses like survey fees, model-making costs, and travel, and allocate them against project budgets for profitability analysis.
Key terms you'll encounter: RIBA work stages, stage payment, fee proposal, professional indemnity.
