Bank Transaction CSV Categorisation & Cleanup Support

We transform raw bank CSV exports into clean, categorised financial data ready for bookkeeping workflows.

What This Service Does

Many accounting firms and businesses export transaction data directly from online banking platforms.These exports often contain inconsistent formatting, unclear transaction descriptions, and missing categorisation, making them difficult to use directly in bookkeeping systems.

This service prepares and structures transaction data before it enters the bookkeeping workflow.

Raw CSV files are cleaned, normalised, and categorised so that the resulting dataset is consistent, readable, and ready for accounting use.

What This Service Covers

This service focuses specifically on preparing and categorising bank transaction CSV exports.

It does not include tax advice, VAT calculations, or full bookkeeping services.

The goal is to prepare structured transaction data before it enters the bookkeeping workflow.

Data Handling & Confidentiality

Client transaction data is handled with strict confidentiality and is used solely for the purpose of preparing structured financial datasets.

Files provided for processing are not shared with third parties and are stored only for the duration required to complete the work. Once the structured dataset has been delivered, source files can be permanently deleted upon request.

Sensitive information contained within transaction exports is treated as confidential business data.
