Comparing Rocket Statements and Hubdoc: Battle of the Files!

Tips, Tricks & Best Practices

lucas Williams's avatarlucas Williams

Okay, so anybody else out there weirdly still attached to manually downloading and organizing their files even though Rocket Statements and Hubdoc kind of do it for you? I've been trialing both and honestly getting mixed vibes. On one hand, RS's PDF to Excel thing is pretty rad when it spits out what I need. But then, syncing with Hubdoc...eh, sometimes it just flows better? Maybe it's just me.

I use Google Sheets a ton, and even though Rocket's addon works, I kinda find myself second-guessing whether Hubdoc's interface might save me some clicks.

Does anyone else feel the drag of figuring out which tool actually complements your setup best? Like, sometimes I just want one platform to rule them all (not that it'll happen). Spent so many hours tweaking little things and still end up needing to re-upload stuff.

Would love some thoughts on how you all juggle these tools. Or maybe I'm overthinking it all. 🤷‍♂️

Frustrating Email Attachments: Adventure Time!

Off-Topic

penny walker's avatarpenny walker

Was anyone else wrapping up a month-end only to get buried alive under email attachments? Like why?

Seriously regretting letting clients email me statements. 😂 Rocket Statements to the rescue—or, well, sort of. Works most of the time until an attachment slides through as a weird format. Or a dozen.

Auto-processing these suckers supposed to be simple. Other tools are cool, I guess? But who’s got time to test every option on the market just because PDFs play games???

Some days, manual download and upload seem faster. Just missing something obvious? Plz someone tell me I’m doing this right, or wrong...or whatever.

Keeping my fingers crossed for it to sync up more smoothly next month!

Syncing Bank Feeds: Am I Missing Something?

Tips, Tricks & Best Practices

liv Rodriguez's avatarliv Rodriguez

Alright folks, I need to just air this out real quick. You know when you're in the groove of monthly reconciliation and you think you've got everything synced up nicely, only to find out some bank feeds mysteriously don't show up? Yeah, that's my life right now. It’s not Rocket Statements' fault I guess, just the syncing cycle that banks seem to be on. Any tricks you guys use to minimize this little hiccup? I’m trying to figure if it’s something I did wrong or just a timing issue.

Oh and by the way, does anyone pair Rocket Statements with another app to double-check these feeds? Sometimes I feel like I need a second pair of eyes or an extra layer to catch these slip-ups before they become a bigger deal. Looking for recommendations on how you guys keep everything in line. Thanks in advance!

How Do You All Organize Statement Formats?

Feature Requests & Feedback

logan Allen's avatarlogan Allen

Alright, so I've been using RS for a while—helps grab some statements and whatnot. But seriously, does anyone else get mixed up with different statement formats? Like, these banks just LOVE to have their own unique designs.

Tried pulling data into Google Sheets using the addon but, uh, formats still don't line up sometimes. Makes me wonder why there isn’t a universal format that all banks could just agree on. Lazy solution? Maybe.

You guys have a hack for this? Maybe some script or tips to make life easier when things don't line up after conversion. Don't really mean to rant but, the daily grind with this stuff—or maybe I'm just missing something obvious. Let me know!

"Secure Client Uploads – More Trouble Than It's Worth?"

Tips, Tricks & Best Practices

harp hernandez's avatarharp hernandez

Hey folks. Anyone else finding the whole secure uploads from clients to be more headache than it solves? Tried a couple other platforms but ended up back with Rocket Statements mostly 'cause I’m foiled by tech giants' interfaces half the time.

There's gotta be a smoother way, right? Like, how secure do these uploads really need to be? I get the whole confidentiality thing, but compared to sharing a random Google Drive link...

Can't keep counting the times clients screw up the file type or upload to the wrong place. Sometimes wonder if I’m just making things complicated myself. Using Rocket Statements to auto-process some stuff helps but honestly, I still get nightmares about missing docs come tax time.

I mean, I just wanna share and forget. Anyone got a hack for this simpler? Or should I resign myself to eternal file naming battles... 🤷‍♂️

Anyone else jaded by monthly reconciliation struggles?

Accounting Software Integration

millie murphy's avatarmillie murphy

Okay, am I the only one who can't quite get the hang of automating reconciliations with multiple bank feeds? I mean, half the time I’m scratching my head wondering if it's a setting I missed or if the sync's just temperamental today. Using RS has helped with statement formatting, but once in QuickBooks it gets murky.

Also, tried bulk downloads but my file structure is chaos—Do others rely heavily on organizing subfolders or what? These little things all together really add up by month-end.

Curious if there are tips for tracking which version or draft a report is at once edited. It feels like I'm still manually double-checking way too much for comfort. Nebulous thoughts, but anyone else face these hiccups?

Integrating QuickBooks: smoother than before?

Accounting Software Integration

avie robinson's avataravie robinson

So I spent like half my day trying to get my bank statements integrated with QuickBooks and man, is it just me or do things sometimes get way more complicated than they should? RS did the heavy lifting on transforming those PDFs into something QB understands, but there's always this weird lag or mismap in the final upload. Anyone else run into this? Feel like I'm juggling too many tools. Or maybe I just missed a step somewhere.

Also, tried using the Google Sheets addon (missed that boat initially) for filtering some transactions before exporting them to QB. It all syncs pretty well but gotta wonder if anyone uses something different alongside RS for smoother processes? Debating on checking out BudgetSheet but I'm not sure if it’s worth layering more stuff on top of what we already have. Any thoughts or experiences? Trying to streamline this chaos...

Subfolder Mayhem: Organizing Beyond Chaos

lay Lee's avatarlay Lee

Anyone else constantly battling the subfolder chaos while using Rocket Statements? I mean, seriously. I start my day thinking I’ve got this... folders within folders for all clients. But halfway through, it’s a jungle! Everything seems to magically duplicate, or end up in the wrong spot.

Trying to keep track when I'm syncing statements with QuickBooks. A community here that’s nailed the art? Or am I the only one drowning in this absurd file management maze?

Oh, and don't get me started on version control. Love how RS lets you manage files, but am I missing out on a smoother workflow here? Tips or anyone figured out Google Sheets tricks for this mess? Help a fellow baffled filer!
