Bank statements into Excel, with every balance checked

Upload a statement from any bank, digital or scanned. Caelum reads every transaction and checks each one against the running balance the bank printed, so you know the data is complete before it goes anywhere.

  • Any bank, any layout, no templates
  • Every printed balance checked, row by row
  • A year of statements in one PDF, separated for you
  • Excel, CSV, Xero, QuickBooks or Sage
A three-page statement in the Caelum dashboard: the rows read from it, opening and closing balances, a tick beside every balance, and the original beside them.
All 32 printed balances reached. Sample statement from a fictional bank.

Checked against the bank’s own figures

A statement prints its balance beside each line. Caelum works through it from the opening balance, so a missed, doubled or misread transaction shows up as the exact row where the balance stops agreeing.

  • Money in read as money out? The balances show which way it went, and it is put right
  • An amount lost over a page break is worked out from the balances either side
  • The closing balance must match the statement to the penny
Opening, money in, money out and closing balance, with the note that every row accounts for the bank’s balance, and each row ticked.

Questions

Anything else? Get in touch.

Which banks does it work with?

Any bank. Caelum reads the statement as a person would rather than relying on templates, so new layouts work without setup.

Can it read scanned statements?

Yes. Scans and phone photos are read too; for a poor scan, the Precision model gives a more careful second reading.

What if the balances do not add up?

The row where they stop agreeing is marked and the difference shown, so you can check the original or run it again. Nothing is hidden.

My statement is password protected. Can I still use it?

Yes. Enter the password when you upload and the file is unlocked on your own computer; the password never reaches Caelum.

How is it charged?

By the page. See the pricing page for plans and pay-as-you-go rates.
