What Is ProperSoft?
ProperSoft is a long-standing maker of desktop file converters — products like Bank2QBO, PDF2QBO, Bank2CSV and others — typically sold as inexpensive one-time licences. Each handles a specific input/output combination.
That's appealing if you want a cheap, offline, install-once tool. The trade-offs are that you may need a different app per format, the tools are template-driven (so an unfamiliar statement layout can be a problem), and you work on a single machine.
FlowParse replaces the whole set with one online AI tool: upload any bank's PDF and export .QBO, .QFX, .OFX, Excel, CSV or a Xero-ready file. Extraction is AI-based, there's a free tier, and Smart Merge consolidates a year into one workbook.
