How to Convert Bank Statements to Excel, CSV, and QBO

If you're using QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Self-Employed, importing bank transactions is a crucial part of managing your finances. While QuickBooks supports various file formats like QBO, QFX, OFX, and CSV, bank statements often come in PDF format. Here's how to easily convert your PDF bank statements using Docule to get them ready for QuickBooks.

Quick Guide to Converting PDFs for QuickBooks

Step 1: Upload Your PDF to Docule

  • Visit Docule.com and click "Get Started"
  • Simply drag and drop your bank statement PDF onto the upload area
  • Alternatively, click to browse and select your file manually

Step 2: Choose Your Export Format

Docule offers multiple export formats compatible with QuickBooks:

  • Select QBO format for direct import into QuickBooks Online
  • Alternatively, choose CSV format if you need to review or edit the data first

Step 3: Review Your Data

Before downloading, Docule allows you to:

  • Preview the extracted data to ensure accuracy
  • Verify that all transactions are correctly captured
  • Check that date formats and column headers match QuickBooks requirements

Step 4: Download and Import

Pro Tips for Successful Conversion

  1. File Size Matters: Keep in mind that QuickBooks has a 350 KB file size limit. If your statement is large, consider breaking it into smaller date ranges.
