FOR ACCOUNTING FIRMS

A bank statement converter for accounting firms,
tailored to your firm for free.

ZeraBooks tailors its bank statement converter to your accounting firm at no cost. We test it on the statements your clients actually send and set up a download layout that matches your workpapers or import template. Every statement comes out as Excel or CSV, checked against its printed balances. References from top-10 U.S. accounting firms are available on request.

WHAT THE TAILORING COVERS

What does the free tailoring include?

Light changes that make the Converter fit how your firm already works. It takes a call and a few sample documents, not a project.

  • Your clients’ statements, tested first

    Send a few statements from the banks and card issuers your clients use most. We run them before your team does, and if a layout reads badly we fix how ZeraBooks reads it.

  • A download layout that matches your template

    The public Converter has six ready-made formats for statements. For your firm we set up a layout in the column order and headings your workpapers or import template expect, so the file goes straight in.

  • A setup call with the founder

    Damin walks your team through uploads, the balance check and downloads on your own documents, and you get a direct line to him afterwards.

  • What it doesn’t cover

    New document types, a dedicated instance under your firm’s name, connections to your systems and volume above 5,000 pages a month are full custom work. That lives on ZeraBooks Enterprise, scoped and priced with each firm.

WHAT THE CONVERTER DOES

Statements in. Checked spreadsheets out.

Used for financial data extraction by teams at top-10 U.S. accounting firms. Customer references are available on request.

CHECKED TO THE CENT

Every statement checked before anyone downloads it.

The Converter reads each bank and credit card statement, adds up its transactions and compares the result with the opening and closing balances printed on the statement. If it doesn’t tie, it says which account is off and by how much. Your staff review the exceptions instead of re-keying every line.

  • Split by account and by cardholder
  • Any bank’s layout, read without templates
  • A document that can’t be read uses no pages
How the Converter proves a statement
The statement proof: every account adds up to the statement to the cent, with the opening balance, transactions and closing balance for each account.

EXCEL AND CSV

Files your team already knows what to do with.

Download one statement or a whole client’s year as Excel or CSV, as one file or one per account or cardholder. Ready-made formats include QuickBooks-ready CSV, Xero-ready, Sage-ready and an all-details layout for workpapers. Need a workbook? See how to convert a bank statement to Excel.

  • No .qbo or IIF files
  • No QuickBooks or Xero connection: you import the CSV yourself
  • Checks, investment statements and invoices on their own pages
Every download format
The Download dialog: choose a ready-made format such as Standard, QuickBooks-ready or Xero-ready, a file type and how to split the file.

MORE THAN BANK STATEMENTS

Checks and brokerage statements too.

Check images become rows with number, date, payee and amount, with the amount in words compared to the figures. Brokerage and retirement statements become holdings and activity sheets checked against the account value. Each document type has its own page in the Converter.

Every document type on its own page.

WHICH ONE FITS YOUR FIRM

QUESTIONS

For accounting firms: common questions

Get your firm tailored
Is the tailoring really free?

Yes. Testing your clients’ statements and setting up your download layout costs nothing. Your team then uses the Converter on a published plan: 1,000 pages for $149 a month or $79 a month billed yearly; 2,500 pages for $249 a month or $179 a month billed yearly; 5,000 pages for $599 a month or $449 a month billed yearly. See ZeraBooks pricing.

How is this different from ZeraBooks Enterprise?

Free tailoring adjusts the standard Converter to your documents and one download layout. ZeraBooks Enterprise is for firms that need new document types, a dedicated instance, connections to their systems or more pages than the public plans offer, and it is scoped and priced per firm.

Does the Converter make .qbo files or sync with QuickBooks or Xero?

No. It makes Excel and CSV files, including QuickBooks-ready, Xero-ready and Sage-ready CSV that you import yourself. There is no .qbo or IIF output and no connection to QuickBooks or Xero.

Which firms use ZeraBooks?

Referrals from top-10 U.S. accounting firms are available as references on request. We don’t publish client names. Ask on the call and we’ll arrange a reference.

How do I know the converted data is right?

Every bank and card statement is checked against its own printed opening and closing balances before you download it. When a statement doesn’t tie, the Converter shows the account and the difference so someone can look at that statement rather than all of them.

Do we need the General Ledger too?

No. The Converter works on its own. Every plan also includes the ZeraBooks General Ledger, which is accounting software for accountants who keep client books, if your firm wants it later. For the rest of a firm’s software, see our guide to CPA tools.
