Interactive Brokers → Xero
Convert a Interactive Brokers activity statement PDF to Xero
IBKR activity statements are dense and multi-section by design. The dated activity converts to clean rows; the sections that aren't a ledger are left where they are rather than mangled into one. Every row is checked against the running balance before you get the file, so the figures reconcile instead of just looking plausible.
