Why import-first is the wrong order
The usual workflow is convert, import, then discover the problem. A narration wrapped across two lines becomes a phantom voucher. A page break swallows a transaction. A scanned seven reads as a one. None of it announces itself — you find out when the closing balance does not tie, and by then the bad rows are already sitting in a client's books, and backing them out costs more than entering them did.
Reconciling before export inverts that. The arithmetic runs while the data is still in review, the first row where the computed balance diverges from the printed one is the row that is wrong, and you fix three rows instead of auditing three hundred.
What Tally-ready means here
Dates normalised, debit and credit columns separated properly rather than inferred from a sign, narrations kept intact instead of split at line wraps, and a reconciliation verdict attached to the export itself. If the file does not reconcile, you see that before it goes anywhere near Tally.
Built for a practice, not a single business
Most reconciliation guidance is written for one company reconciling one account. A firm has a different problem — dozens of clients, each with a different bank, a different layout and its own quirks, every month. Page credits work across your whole practice rather than per seat, so adding a junior to the review queue does not cost you a licence.
Common questions
- How do I convert a bank statement PDF to Tally?
- Upload the statement, review the flagged rows, and export in Tally format. The reconciliation runs before export, so you know the totals tie before importing.
- Does it work with scanned statements and passbook pages?
- Yes. Scans go through OCR, and low-confidence fields are flagged rather than silently accepted — which matters most on exactly these files.
- Can I convert password-protected statements?
- Yes, enter the PDF password at upload.
- Is it safe to upload a client's bank statement?
- Files are encrypted at rest with a per-workspace key, auto-delete after 24 hours by default, and every access is audit-logged.
