Convert Found CSV to QuickBooks (.QBO)
Works with Found CSV and Excel exports Nothing uploaded
Found is a business banking app built for the self-employed, with bookkeeping and tax tools layered on the account. It does not offer a direct QuickBooks bank feed, so if you keep books in QuickBooks you export from Found and import the file yourself. Found's export is a CSV that it emails to the address on your account, covering all activity including manually created bookkeeping items. That CSV is a spreadsheet, not a .QBO bank-feed file, so QuickBooks will not import it as a feed without conversion.
To export, sign in to Found from a desktop browser, open the Activity tab, click Export (or the three dots on mobile), pick a date range and the details to include, and Found emails you the CSV. Found's own data uses date, title, note, and amount fields, so expect those columns. QBO Maker turns that CSV into a clean .QBO file (or .QFX for Quicken) right in your browser, with nothing uploaded. Map date, description, and amount once and import as a standard bank feed. Convert your Found CSV at the converter.
.QBO QuickBooks accepts. For Found, its dates are usually MM/DD/YYYY, and amounts arrive as a single signed Amount column (debits negative, credits positive), both detected automatically.A typical Found export has columns like Date, Title, Note, Amount and uses MM/DD/YYYY dates. QBO Maker auto-detects these, just confirm the mapping.
How to import Found statements into QuickBooks
- Export your transactions from Found online banking as CSV or Excel.
- Open the QBO Maker converter and drop the file in.
- Confirm the auto-detected date, amount (or separate debit/credit) and description columns.
- Choose .QBO as the output and click download.
- In QuickBooks Online: Transactions → Bank transactions → Upload from file, then select the .QBO. In Desktop: Banking → Bank Feeds → Import Web Connect File.
Found-specific things to watch for
- Export arrives by email. Found sends the CSV to the address on your account rather than offering an instant download, so check your inbox before converting.
- Includes manual bookkeeping items. The export covers all activity including items you created by hand, so review the file if you only want posted bank transactions.
- Title and Note, not Description. Found uses Title and Note fields. Map Title (and Note if needed) to the description when converting so QuickBooks shows a useful payee.
- Desktop browser for export. The full export lives in the desktop web app under Activity; sign in there rather than relying on the mobile view.
QuickBooks Online vs Desktop
QuickBooks Online: Transactions → Bank transactions → Upload from file → choose your .QBO. QuickBooks Desktop: Banking → Bank Feeds → Import Web Connect File. Desktop is stricter about the bank ID.
Frequently asked questions
Does Found connect directly to QuickBooks?
Found does not offer a native QuickBooks bank feed. You export a CSV from Activity, then convert it to a .QBO with QBO Maker and import that file into QuickBooks.
What columns will my Found export have?
Found uses Date, Title, Note, and Amount. Map Date to the date, Title (plus Note if you like) to the description, and Amount to the amount during conversion.
Is my Found data uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion happens in your browser, so your Found CSV never leaves your computer. See how to import the result.
Can I create a Quicken file instead?
Yes. Choose .QFX and you get a Quicken-ready file from the same Found CSV. See CSV to QFX.
