Xero + Bankruptcy Filing: Complete Workflow
Preparing for bankruptcy filing and using Xero? Bankruptcy attorneys and filers need 6+ months of bank statements for means testing, Schedule I/J preparation, and trustee review in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases. BankScan AI bridges the gap between your bank's PDF statements and Xero's import feature.
BankScan AI → Xero for Bankruptcy Filing
Convert bank statement PDFs to CSV formatted for Xero import. Convert bank statements to Excel for quick means test analysis, income/expense categorization, and complete financial disclosure required by bankruptcy courts.
How It Works
Upload your bank statement PDF
Supports all major banks. Upload 6 months of statements for means test (CMI calculation); trustees may request up to 2 years to identify preferential or fraudulent transfers of statements.
AI formats for Xero
Output as CSV with Date, Description, Amount (single column, negative for debits) — or Date, Description, Debit, Credit as separate columns — dates in DD/MM/YYYY or YYYY-MM-DD.
Import and use for bankruptcy filing

Xero + Bankruptcy Filing Features
- Xero ready — Output formatted as CSV matching Xero's expected column structure
- Smart integration — Xero's bank feed rules can auto-categorise imported transactions, so once you've set up rules, future imports from the same bank are largely automated.
- Built for Bankruptcy Filing — Convert bank statements to Excel for quick means test analysis, income/expense categorization, and complete financial disclosure required by bankruptcy courts.
Import for Bankruptcy Filing into Xero
After converting your bank statements for bankruptcy filing:
- In Xero, go to Accounting > Bank accounts > select your account > Import a Statement
- Choose the CSV file from BankScan AI
- Xero auto-maps the Date, Description, and Amount columns
Common Import Issues
Most common error is date format mismatch — Xero rejects MM/DD/YYYY dates. Also watch for CSV encoding issues with special characters in payee names.
