Taxfiler + Consultants: Faster Bank Import
Consultants managing multiple client engagements need to track retainers, milestone payments, travel expenses, and subcontractor costs across accounts. If you use Taxfiler for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Consultants 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 client payments, track project expenses, and prepare invoices and tax returns efficiently.
The Consultants + Taxfiler Workflow
Consultants invoice clients on retainer, milestone, or time-and-materials bases, then reconcile bank statements to verify payments received. They track project-specific expenses including travel, accommodation, and subcontractor fees, allocate costs to engagements for profitability analysis, and prepare records for quarterly VAT and annual tax returns.
Key terms you'll encounter: retainer, day rate, scope creep, utilisation rate.
