Invoice Conversion Checklist: Retainer True-Up

Month-end: convert retainer and hourly PDFs, align hours to contracts, and export for self-assessment packs. Use BillToSheet to turn PDFs into structured CSV or Excel.

Checklist

  • Collect all retainer true-up PDFs for the period
  • Upload each PDF to BillToSheet and download CSV or Excel
  • Validate totals and tax lines against the source PDF
  • Map columns to your chart of accounts or client codes
  • Reconcile to bank or platform reports
  • File the export with your close package or tax folder

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this checklist different from a generic close checklist?

It focuses on client retainers, platform payouts, and subscription tools and assumes you need line-level detail from PDFs, not just totals from a portal.

Can I reuse this every month?

Yes. Keep the same steps and swap in the new period's PDFs so your reconciliation stays consistent.
