Upload monthly statements

Send bank, card, and processor statements so Institution Max can start processing.

Updated 2026-10-11

Statements are the source for your books. Upload one for every account you want in the books, every month.

Steps

  1. Open Documents and choose Statements.
  2. Select your company if you have more than one.
  3. Enter the account name and account type.
  4. Add the files. PDF, CSV, XLSX, XLS, OFX, and QFX files work.
  5. Add a note if your bookkeeping team should know something about the statement, then upload.

Uploading starts processing. You can follow it on the Bookkeeping page, which shows the most recent processing job and the source files received.

Before you upload

  • Include every page, including the summary page. A missing page means missing transactions.
  • Download the file from your bank or processor where you can, rather than taking a photo of a screen.
  • Name the account the way you would recognize it, such as the bank and the last four digits.

When you are finished

Use the prompt to mark your documents ready for review. It tells the team you are done uploading so review can start. If you realize you missed a file, you can revert that and keep uploading.
