Argo Books
Three steps, whatever your columns are called
Most import tools make you describe your own spreadsheet to them first. This one reads it.
Drop the file in
Excel or CSV, however you have laid it out. There is no template to match first.
It maps the columns
AI works out which column holds the date, the amount, the supplier and the rest, whatever you happened to call them.
Check and import
You see what will be created, with anything questionable flagged, and nothing is saved until you say so.
It copes with how spreadsheets actually look
Merged cells, a title row above the headings, inconsistent date formats, blank rows in the middle. The files people really keep are messy, and the import is built for those rather than for a clean example.
- Merged cells and stray header rows handled
- Mixed date and number formats normalised
- Everything validated and previewed before import
Move your records across in minutes
No account, no credit card, and no template to fill in first.
What changes when switching is easy
Years of history in one go
The reason people stay on a spreadsheet is the cost of moving off it. That cost is a file drop.
Nothing saves until you approve it
The preview shows exactly what will be created, so a bad import is caught before it becomes a cleanup job.
Bad rows get flagged, not swallowed
Missing amounts and impossible dates are surfaced for you to fix rather than imported quietly.
No mapping screen to fight
The columns are worked out from the file itself, which is the step that usually makes people give up.

Before you download
Argo Books supports Excel (.xlsx) and CSV files. Drag and drop your file and Argo Books detects your columns, maps them to the right fields, and imports everything. No manual formatting or templates needed.
You can import customers, products, expenses, revenue, invoices, and more. Argo Books reads your column headers and figures out what each spreadsheet contains, whether you're moving from another tool or cleaning up old spreadsheets.
Usually not. Argo Books reads your column headers and maps them to the right fields for you. You can review and adjust the mapping before importing, but most imports go through with a quick confirmation.
The Free plan includes <?= $argo_import_limit ?> spreadsheet imports per month, which is plenty for getting started or migrating in batches. Premium users have no limit. Each file counts as one import, no matter how many rows it contains.
