Turn your bank statement into clean books
Drop in a CSV, Excel, or PDF statement in any format and every line comes back as a categorized expense or revenue, ready to review. No template to match, no bank login, no copying and pasting.
Stop typing your statement line by line
Catching up on a month of banking usually means squinting at a PDF and retyping every row. Argo Books reads the whole statement for you and turns each line into a categorized expense or revenue, with the type, category, and supplier or customer already filled in.
- Reads any bank's format, in CSV, Excel, or PDF, with no template to set up
- Each line comes back categorized and ready to review
- No bank login, no connection, no aggregator
Catch up on your books in minutes
Download Argo Books and import your first statement in a few minutes. No credit card needed.
Check your statement against your books
Already recording as you go? Use matching instead. Argo Books lines up each bank transaction with the expense or revenue you already entered, confirms the ones that agree, and flags anything that's missing, so you can be sure your books and your bank tell the same story.
A month calendar view shows matched and unmatched activity at a glance, and a separate list surfaces records in your books that never showed up on the statement.
- Matches bank lines to your recorded expenses and revenue
- Month calendar view of matched and unmatched days
- Runs on your computer, with no data sent out to match
Three steps from statement to sorted
Export, drop, review. Argo Books does the reading and the categorizing so you don't have to.
Export from your bank
Download a statement from your online banking as a CSV, Excel, or PDF file. Any bank works.
Drop in the file
Argo Books reads every line, even statements with header notes or unusual columns, and pre-fills each one.
Review and import
Check the categorized lines, adjust anything you like, and import. Or switch to matching to reconcile against your books.
Never re-type a bank statement again
Every transaction read, categorized, and ready to confirm.
Every line pre-filled before you review
Argo Books fills each line in two passes. First, it applies rules it has learned from your past imports and matches obvious names against your existing products, suppliers, and customers. Then AI fills in whatever is left, choosing a product and category and a supplier or customer for each transaction.
Nothing is written to your books until you confirm, and every import you approve teaches Argo Books your merchants, so the next statement fills in even faster.
- Picks the product, category, and supplier or customer
- Learns each merchant so repeat statements pre-fill themselves
- You review and confirm before anything is saved
More than a statement reader
It changes how you catch up, how you check your books, and how much of it you have to do by hand.
Catch up in minutes
A whole month of transactions, read and categorized, in the time it used to take to do a handful by hand.
No bank connection
No login, no linked account, no aggregator. You export the file, and that's the only thing Argo Books ever sees.
Handles messy statements
Header notes, odd column names, separate debit and credit columns: Argo Books finds the real data and reads it.
Learns your merchants
Confirm an import once and Argo Books remembers it, so the same merchant fills in automatically next time.
Spot what's missing
Matching mode shows any records in your books that never appeared on the statement, so nothing slips through.
Fully undoable
Every import and every match is a single undo step. If something looks off, roll it back and try again.

Your banking stays yours
Argo Books is a desktop app, not a cloud service, and it never connects to your bank. CSV and Excel statements are read right on your computer, and matching runs entirely on your machine.
Only reading a PDF statement and the optional AI categorization send transaction lines out for analysis. There's never a bank login involved, because there's no bank connection to begin with.
- No bank login, connection, or third-party aggregator
- CSV and Excel are read on your own computer
- Matching happens locally, with nothing sent out
