    Ideally, of course, my bank should be doing my accounting. They have all my data. It could be entirely automatic for small businesses.

        @aral A good accountant understands what you do, makes sure you get most out of your hard work & can answer Q's throughout year.

        @aral I think there are statutory reasons why banking and accounting are done by separate businesses.

        @aral I always get funny looks when I tell my bank what "features" I need - online banking + debit / credit cards, that's it.

        @aral The bank’s CSV is horrible though. They don’t provide much info.

        @aral We download CSV and have a custom Mac app that processes + adds premade comments and tax codes, as most of our business IO is the same

        @aral but how would you then ever find out about the things your bank does wrong. They do. As everybody.

        @aral The last institution I would trust to do my accounting is my bank as a small business especially as my work has international focus

        @aral I would hate that. Banks make mistakes or don't understand your biz. I would never want them to handle it blindly.
