Before you export

  • QBO, OFX, and QIF exports are generated from the rows you review in StatementForge.
  • Accounting programs can be strict about dates, account identifiers, and opening balances, so review the import preview before posting.
  • If the PDF does not expose an account ID, StatementForge uses a generated ID in the export file.

Does StatementForge sync with QuickBooks?

No. It exports downloadable files. You import them yourself in QuickBooks.

Which export should I choose for QuickBooks?

QBO is often used for QuickBooks bank workflows, while CSV can be easier to inspect and map manually.

Can I fix descriptions before export?

Yes. You can edit extracted descriptions and amounts before downloading.

Does this replace accounting review?

No. It reduces data entry, but you should still review transactions before posting.
