Why Most PDF to Excel Converters Fail
Bank statements aren't simple tables. They have multi-line descriptions, separate debit/credit columns, and running balances that must reconcile. Generic converters often produce "looks right" output that fails during reconciliation.
- We extract table structure, not just copied text
- Balance-chain validation catches sign errors and missing rows
- Issues flagged before download so you know where to look
