Month-end receipts roundup

“I end up spending a weekend manually going through 12 months of bank statements.” Month-end shouldn't eat two days. This guide walks the full loop — export, match, categorize, flag — in one sitting.
What the full guide covers
1

Export the month's bank & card statements to CSV

Log in to each account, set the date range, and download CSV (not PDF — CSV is matchable).

2

Collect every receipt into one folder

Email receipts, phone photos, app exports — dump them all in a single folder before matching.

3

Match receipts to statement lines

Sort both by amount and date; match in descending order of value so the big items clear first.

4

Categorize every matched pair

Use a fixed category list (max ~12 categories) so month-over-month reports stay comparable.

5

Flag deductions & oddities for your accountant

Mark anything ambiguous — don't guess on tax-relevant items; send one consolidated list.
