Why This Service Exists
Bank transaction exports are often messy, inconsistent, and time-consuming to work with.
You may be dealing with:
- Unclear transaction descriptions
- Duplicate or inconsistent merchant names
- Missing or unreliable categorisation
- Different formats across banks
This leads to hours of manual cleanup before bookkeeping even begins.
What This Service Does
This service prepares your transaction data before it enters your bookkeeping workflow.
Your raw CSV is transformed into:
- Clean, standardised descriptions
- Consistent category assignments
- Identifiable merchant names
- A structured dataset ready for use
So you can focus on bookkeeping — not fixing messy data.

What This Service Covers
This service focuses specifically on preparing and categorising bank transaction CSV exports.
It does not include tax advice, VAT calculations, or full bookkeeping services.
The goal is to prepare structured transaction data before it enters the bookkeeping workflow.
Data Handling & Confidentiality
Client transaction data is handled with strict confidentiality and is used solely for the purpose of preparing structured financial datasets.
Files provided for processing are not shared with third parties and are stored only for the duration required to complete the work. Once the structured dataset has been delivered, source files can be permanently deleted upon request.
Sensitive information contained within transaction exports is treated as confidential business data.
Send a Sample CSV

You will receive:
- a clear quote
- confirmation of what can be done
- an optional free sample clean of up to 50 transactions
No obligation — no work begins without your approval.
Most files are reviewed within 24 hours.
