You already know FastStatements as the essential tool for effortlessly extracting transactions from PDF bank and credit card statements directly into clean, usable Excel (CSV) files. It’s saved countless hours of tedious manual data entry. But what happens after extraction? For many individuals, freelancers, small businesses, and accounting professionals, the next step – manually categorizing each transaction – remains a significant time drain, prone to errors and inconsistency.
Sorting through lines of spending – groceries, utilities, software subscriptions, travel – takes valuable time away from analysis, budgeting, or growing your business. It’s where true financial clarity often gets lost in the painstaking process.
