Submit a requestAccuracy You Can Verify
A generic "PDF to Excel" converter produces output that looks plausible but breaks during reconciliation. ExtractaLedger verifies the data.
Validation outputs you'll see
- PASS/FAIL outcome for balance integrity
- A list of Issues (rows needing review)
- Per-row needs_review flag for unusual lines
Common problems we catch
- A debit recorded as a credit (or vice versa)
- A missing transaction row due to layout breaks
- A fee line attached to the wrong row
- Non-effective "display lines"
Pricing
Pay per conversion. Credits only deducted on successful XLSX generation.
