Zoho Books + Grant Application: Complete Workflow
Preparing for grant application and using Zoho Books? Grant applications often require evidence of financial health, cash flow, and how previous funding was spent — typically shown through bank statements. BankScan AI bridges the gap between your bank's PDF statements and Zoho Books's import feature.
BankScan AI → Zoho Books for Grant Application
Convert bank statement PDFs to CSV formatted for Zoho Books import. Convert your bank statements to clear spreadsheets that demonstrate financial health, spending patterns, and fund usage for grant applications.
How It Works
Upload your bank statement PDF
Supports all major banks. Upload 3-12 months, depending on the funder; Arts Council and Innovate UK typically require 3 months, while National Lottery may require a full year of statements.
AI formats for Zoho Books
Output as CSV with Date, Description, Withdrawal, Deposit — Zoho Books requires separate columns for money in and money out — dates in DD/MM/YYYY or YYYY-MM-DD.
Import and use for grant application
Upload into Zoho Books and use the reconciled data for grant application.
Supported Banks
BankScan AI works with all major UK and US banks, including:

Common Import Issues
Zoho Books requires separate Withdrawal and Deposit columns — a single Amount column will fail. Also rejects files larger than 5MB.
