Migrating from Moneydance? We Can Help.
Moneydance is a fantastic personal finance tool, but its proprietary file formats can make it difficult to move your data to Excel, Google Sheets, or other modern accounting software like Xero or QuickBooks. The built-in "Export" function often produces messy text files or QIFs that modern spreadsheets struggle to read.
💡 Privacy First Architecture
Financial data is sensitive. That is why we built this tool using Client-Side JavaScript. This means your bank transactions, balances, and memos are processed locally on your device. Nothing is sent to the cloud. You can verify this by inspecting the network tab or running the tool offline.
How to Export from Moneydance
- Open Moneydance and go to File > Export.
- Select QIF (Quicken Interchange Format) as the format. This retains the most detail regarding dates and categories.
- Choose "All Accounts" or the specific account you wish to convert.
- Save the file to your computer.
- Drag that file into the box above. We will parse the confusing QIF syntax and give you a clean CSV.
Common Conversion Issues
- Date Formats: Moneydance sometimes exports dates as
MM/DD/YYYYorDD/MM/YYdepending on your system settings. Our tool standardizes everything to ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD) for maximum compatibility. - Split Transactions: A single transaction (e.g., "Costco Run") might be split into "Groceries," "Clothing," and "Household." QIF handles this with complex nesting. Our tool "flattens" these into individual rows so you can pivot-table them easily.
- Encoding: Special characters (like currency symbols £/€) can break in standard CSVs. We force UTF-8 encoding to preserve them.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why CSV instead of Excel (XLSX)? +
CSV (Comma Separated Values) is the universal language of data. It can be opened by Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets, Python, and almost every accounting software import tool. It is future-proof.
Can I import this into QuickBooks? +
Yes. QuickBooks Online and Desktop both accept CSV imports for bank feeds. Just ensure you map the columns correctly (Date, Description, Amount) during the import process.
What about "Investment" transactions? +
Investment transactions (Buy/Sell/Div) in Moneydance are complex. This converter handles them by treating them as simple ledger entries (Cash In/Cash Out). It does not currently track share counts or cost basis.
