Why Excel for Bank Statement Analysis?

Accountants preparing financial reports need more than raw data. Excel provides the analysis tools, formatting control, and multi-sheet organization that professional financial work demands.

CSV Output Problems

Basic converters output CSV files that lose formatting, break on commas in descriptions, and cannot handle multiple accounts in one file.

  • No formatting (currency, dates display as text)
  • Commas in descriptions break columns
  • Single sheet only (no multi-account support)
  • Manual reformatting required before analysis

"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."

The Challenge

As a Manager at Manning Elliott, I oversee bookkeeping and accounting for multiple small business clients across different industries. I was spending a huge chunk of my time on something that shouldn't be that hard—getting transaction data from bank statements into my clients' books. Every client has different banks, different statement formats. Some send scanned PDFs, some send digital ones, some are multiple pages, some are single pages. I was basically retyping everything into Excel, then formatting it, then importing to QuickBooks or Xero. It was taking 2-3 hours per client per month across my entire client base. That's a massive amount of time just on data entry.

The Solution

I found Zera Books when I was specifically searching for something to help with bank statement conversion. I tried it with one of my most difficult clients—a restaurant owner who sends me statements from three different accounts in barely readable PDFs. It worked perfectly on the first try. Now I use it for every single client during monthly bookkeeping. Upload the statement, get the CSV, quick review to make sure everything looks right, import to their accounting system. Done.
