** Smells not good? It is 21 century, we shall have auto connection with banks, right? **

But data are toys of big players who will not let you automate it. They will earn money use your time and effort. Not a secret.

Batch accounting is the best tool for individuals now. It supports importing OFX and QFX for major banks and financial institutions. On this basis, the accounting software is designed and implemented.

QFX is a variant of OFX actually in my opinion. I am not sure that big player has patent or trademark on it. But there are lot of pain points for individuals using it.

• Some major banks only supports QFX but not OFX.
• QFX has many fabulous tricks to make OFX parsers not function well even not work. Or even worse, working wrongfully without any error message. Terrible!!
• CSV file often does not contain necessary meta information enough for account consolidation.

So a refined OFX parser and consolidating management featured accouting software is quite necessary.

So here is the list of features:

• By importing .OFX/.QFX file, financial organization and account master skelete are automatically created.
• Auto and intelligent reconciliation.
• Raw transactions and double book journals are separately stored.
• You can re-do journal at any time from scratch.
• Accounts receivable/payable aging report is almost no work.
• Simple command line
• Mysql with simple tables.

Thanks ofx protocols and python and ofxtools contibutors.
