Bank statements without the manual work

Bank statements are essential to the bookkeeping process, but working through them line by line is one of the most time-consuming tasks in the job.

‍

Whether you're processing a single statement or hundreds across multiple clients, every transaction has to be captured accurately before reconciliation can begin. That means reading figures from PDFs, typing them in, checking the totals and hoping nothing was missed.

‍

AutoEntry uses optical character recognition and artificial intelligence to extract bank statement data automatically. Upload a statement, review the extracted data and download it ready for your accounting software.

‍

Spend less time entering transactions and more time reviewing the numbers.

A faster way to process bank statements

Bank statements come in different formats and can contain hundreds of transactions. Processing them manually often means moving between PDFs, spreadsheets and accounting software before the data is ready to use.

AutoEntry simplifies the process by extracting transaction data automatically and preparing it for download in a format that's ready for your accounting software.

Key Features

AutoEntry combines automated extraction, flexible exports and workflow tools to simplify bank statement processing from start to finish.

Upload bank statements your way

AutoEntry supports a range of bank statement formats, including scanned paper statements, credit and debit card statements, PDF files and ePDFs downloaded from online banking accounts.

Simply upload your file to the Bank Statements folder and AutoEntry begins processing it automatically. Statements from different banks can be uploaded without creating templates or reformatting documents beforehand.

There is no complex setup and no manual formatting required.

What AutoEntry extracts from every statement

Once uploaded, AutoEntry extracts key information from each bank statement, including:
‍
- Account Number
- Date
- Description
- Debit
- Credit
- Balance
- Cheque number (where applicable)

Line-item extraction captures individual transaction lines rather than only summary totals.

For statements containing multiple accounts, extracted transactions are grouped by account number within each project to help keep records organised.

Organise statements with projects

Projects provide a simple way to organise bank statements throughout the year.

Create a project for a client, financial year or reporting period, then upload statements as they arrive. When it's time to export the data, everything is already stored in one place.

Statements within the same project are automatically grouped by account number, reducing the need to manually combine and organise data before export.

Fast-code transactions before you export

When preparing year-end accounts or working through historical statements, Fast-code makes it easier to categorise transactions before export.

Assign nominal accounts and payees to individual transactions or use bulk actions to update multiple lines at once. Once approved, download the coded file ready for import into your accounting software.

AutoEntry provides dedicated export formats for:

- Sage Accounting (SBCA)
- QuickBooks Online
- Most other accounting packages via CSV import

You can also choose a specific date range when exporting, making it easy to download only the transactions you need rather than an entire project.
