Answer first
How can reconciliation teams use bank statement extraction?
Bank Statement Extraction for Bank Reconciliation helps reconciliation teams turn PDF statements into structured rows for matching extracted rows to ledger entries and balances. Accounter extracts transaction dates, descriptions, debits, credits, and balances, but the output should be reviewed against the original statement before submission, import, or client delivery.
The output is CSV for review and preparation, not an official bank-certified report.
