Bring transactions in with bank feeds, a CSV import or manual entries. Code them in Books › Process feeds (bank rules do the repeat ones), check the balance against your bank statement, then run your reports and lodge BAS, STP and TPAR from Exacc.

In Exacc: Books › Banking › Process feeds

1. Bring transactions in

Bank feeds: open Books › Bank Feeds, click Connect a Bank and give consent on Basiq's page (Consumer Data Right). Exacc brings in up to 2 years of history, then new transactions daily. Your banking password is never given to Exacc.

CSV import: import a bank export with just a date and amount, or with contacts and accounts. Complete rows are posted straight away; the rest wait in Process feeds. A PDF bank statement can be converted to CSV first.

Manual entries: Books › + Bank Transaction (Spend Money or Receive Money), or a General Journal (for example opening balances).

2. Code them in Process feeds

Open Books › Process feeds and Select Account. For each transaction Apply the suggestion, use Quick Add (account, tax code, contact), Match Existing Transactions to an invoice, bill or payment, or New Journal to split it. Bank rules code the repeat ones for you.

Posted transactions can be edited or deleted like any other, changed in bulk with Find and Update, and you can attach files (PDF, photos) to them.

3. Check against the bank

Open Books › + Bank Statement, choose the account and dates, and compare the balance on the last day with your bank's balance. If they differ, look for missing, duplicated or misdated transactions. Lock the period once it is final.

4. Report and lodge

Run Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Trial Balance, General Ledger and Cash Flow from Reports, and drill from any amount down to the transaction. Lodge your BAS, STP and TPAR with the ATO from Exacc once the file is linked to the ATO.
