Bank Statement Converter for Nonprofits
Fund accounting made simple. Organize transactions by program or fund, track restricted vs unrestricted accounts, generate audit-ready exports for 990 filings. $79/month unlimited conversions fits nonprofit budgets.
Nonprofit Financial Challenges
Nonprofits face unique accounting requirements that generic bank statement converters don't address. Fund accounting, grant compliance, and donor reporting require specialized workflow tools.
Fund Accounting Complexity
Multiple restricted and unrestricted funds, each requiring separate tracking. Program funds, operating funds, donor-restricted funds—all need proper segregation for board reports.
Grant Tracking Requirements
Multiple grants with different reporting periods and spending restrictions. Foundation grants, government grants, corporate sponsorships—each with unique compliance requirements.
Audit & 990 Preparation
Annual Form 990 filings and potential audits require organized transaction records. Clean data categorized by functional expense (Program Services, Management & General, Fundraising).
Donor Reporting
Major donors and foundations expect detailed spending reports. Track how restricted gifts are used. Annual reports need accurate year-over-year comparisons across programs.
Multiple Bank Accounts
Operating accounts, grant-specific accounts, donor-advised fund accounts, and petty cash accounts. Many nonprofits manage 5-10+ separate bank accounts for compliance.
Limited Budget
Every dollar counts in nonprofit operations. Per-page converter pricing adds up quickly. Software costs compete with program spending for limited resources.

What Accounting Professionals Say

"My clients send me all kinds of messy PDFs from different banks. This tool handles them all and saves me probably 10 hours a week that I used to spend on manual entry."
