  3. Column mapping: Date → Date, Description → Description, Debit → Debit, Credit → Credit

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I import Amex CSV directly into QuickBooks?

A: Amex's native CSV only gives 90 days of data and its column names don't match QBO. PDF conversion gives the whole statement in clean columns — import mapping becomes easy.

Q: Why is my imported transaction showing as expense instead of payment?

A: QuickBooks import me sign convention reverse ho sakta hai. Mapping step me Debit/Credit columns swap karke preview check do.
