Convert CSV and Excel files to a QuickBooks .qbo right in your Mac browser. No Windows-only software to install. Imports into QuickBooks Online and Desktop.
No account needed for your first conversions. We never store your bank login.
To convert a CSV to QBO on a Mac, upload your CSV or Excel file to the converter at the top of this page and download the .qbo it builds. It runs in Safari or Chrome on macOS, so there is no Windows-only program to install and no virtual machine to set up. The .qbo it produces imports straight into QuickBooks Online, and into QuickBooks Desktop for Mac as a Web Connect file.
Most CSV to QBO converters are Windows desktop apps. MoneyThumb's 2qbo Convert Pro and Pro+ run on Windows, and the scanned-document OCR in Pro+ is Windows-only, so Mac users get routed to a separate cloud product. Because this converter is web based, your Mac is all you need. Drop the file in the browser, the conversion runs on our servers, and you get a real .qbo back, not a renamed CSV.
This matters more since Intuit stopped selling new QuickBooks Desktop for Mac subscriptions after September 30, 2024, leaving QuickBooks Mac 2024 as the final desktop version. Most Mac-based businesses are now on QuickBooks Online, whose manual bank upload accepts a .qbo file along with CSV, QFX, and OFX. Converting your CSV to .qbo gives you one file that imports cleanly into QuickBooks Online today, and into QuickBooks Mac 2024 if you still run it.
Bookkeepers and accountants who work on a Mac use this to load client bank and credit card history without keeping a Windows machine around just for one conversion step. The tool reads any column order, normalizes mixed date formats, strips dollar signs and thousands commas from the amounts, and writes a valid .qbo with a unique ID on every transaction so QuickBooks does not flag duplicates. You get the .qbo plus matching Excel and CSV files in a single download.

Built for the CSV and Excel exports US banks and cards actually send, checked before it exports.
The converter adds up the transactions it parsed and matches that to your file total before you export, so nothing is silently dropped.
Valid OFX 1.02 with QuickBooks Web Connect headers. Online and Desktop import it as a standard bank feed.
Date, description, and amount are detected for you, so you skip QuickBooks' strict 3-column and 4-column CSV layout.
Bulk upload for catch-up and cleanup work. Each file gets its own reconciliation check and its own exports.
Mixed date formats, currency symbols, and stray commas that break a raw CSV import are cleaned up before the .qbo is built.
One conversion, three files: the .qbo for QuickBooks, an XLSX to review, and a CSV for everything else.
Three steps. No column-mapping wizard.
Drag in a CSV, XLS, or XLSX export from your bank, credit card, or accounting tool. Any column order is fine.
Every transaction is parsed and checked against your file total. You see the rows before exporting.
Download the .qbo and import it as a Web Connect bank feed. Excel and CSV are in the same download.

Upload your CSV or Excel file to the converter above in Safari or Chrome, then download the .qbo. The conversion runs through the browser, so nothing installs on your Mac. Open QuickBooks Online, go to Transactions, Bank transactions, Upload from file, and select the .qbo to import it.
Yes. Because this converter is web based, it works on any Mac through Safari, Chrome, or Firefox, with no Windows-only download. Many desktop converters such as MoneyThumb's 2qbo Convert Pro only run on Windows, so a browser-based tool is the simplest option for macOS users.
Yes. QuickBooks Mac 2024 imports a .qbo Web Connect file much like the Windows editions do, bringing the transactions into the account you choose for review. QuickBooks Online also accepts a .qbo through its manual bank upload, so a single converted file works whether your books are desktop or online.
Yes. QuickBooks Online runs entirely in a web browser, so it works on macOS, Windows, and Chromebooks with nothing to install. That makes it the common choice for Mac-based businesses, especially now that new QuickBooks Desktop for Mac subscriptions are no longer sold.
Yes. The converter above runs in your browser, so there is nothing to download, no admin password to enter, and no Windows app to emulate. You upload the CSV, the .qbo is built on our servers, and you download the finished file along with Excel and CSV copies.
Intuit stopped selling new QuickBooks Desktop for Mac subscriptions after September 30, 2024, and QuickBooks Mac 2024 is the final desktop version. Existing users can still renew for now, with support expected to wind down around 2027. New Mac users are pointed to QuickBooks Online instead.
In QuickBooks Online, open Transactions, then Bank transactions, pick the account, choose Upload from file, and select the .qbo. In QuickBooks Mac 2024, import it as a Web Connect file and match it to the account. Either way the transactions land ready to review and categorize.
Yes. The converter accepts .xls, .xlsx, and .xlsm directly, so a workbook from Excel for Mac converts without saving it to CSV first. If your data is in Apple Numbers, export it to CSV or Excel from the File menu, then upload that file here.
Not directly. Numbers uses its own .numbers format, which QuickBooks and most converters cannot read. In Numbers, choose File, Export To, then CSV or Excel, and upload the exported file. The converter reads the date, description, and amount columns and builds the .qbo from there.
Yes. Before you download anything, the tool adds up the transactions it parsed and checks that total against your original file, so nothing is silently dropped. You review the rows on screen, then download the .qbo, an Excel copy, and a CSV copy. Files are processed only for the conversion.
Upload a CSV or Excel export, get a QuickBooks-ready .qbo back in seconds. No card to try it.
Pick the right next step: send transactions to the cloud with the CSV to QuickBooks Online converter, use the CSV to QuickBooks Desktop route for the Web Connect import, turn a workbook into a .qbo with the Excel to QBO converter, escape Windows-only software with the 2qbo Convert Pro alternative, batch a backlog of client files with the bulk CSV to QBO converter, or compare the best CSV to QBO converters before you choose.
