Read QBO bank transaction fields into IIF transaction records. Review the preview before downloading.

A QBO file is a Web Connect transaction export, not a QuickBooks company backup. FinanceConvert reads its bank transactions. Customers, invoices, attachments, reconciliations and chart-of-accounts settings are outside this conversion.

FIELD MAPPING

The same transactions.
A different format.

THREE STEPS

Prepare. Convert. Review.

01

Check the source

Upload an unlocked QBO file up to 10 MB. Choose a date order if it cannot be established from the file.This path reads transaction fields directly; no document-reading AI is needed.

02

Read the preview

Compare the transaction count, date range and totals with your source. Check running-balance warnings. A clean balance check does not prove every row was extracted.

03

Download & validate

Download the IIF output, then inspect its mapping in your destination application. The temporary download expires after first use or 15 minutes. A separate encrypted review copy is retained for 90 days.

Questions about this conversion

When should I choose another format instead of IIF?

Choose a tabular export for review if you have not mapped the chart of accounts. IIF targets Desktop-style transaction imports and must not be confused with a complete migration into QuickBooks Online.

What should I check before using this export?

Compare row count, first and last dates, debit/credit direction and totals with the source. Review any balance warnings. Test the destination mapping with a copy or test account; a successful export does not prove importer compatibility.

Are my source and result deleted after download?

No. Temporary download links expire after first use or 15 minutes. A private encrypted source/result copy, including failed attempts, is retained for 90 days to investigate errors and evaluate conversion improvements. The upload notice explains storage, and the document receipt lets you request deletion.
