Vanguard → Xero
Convert a Vanguard brokerage statement PDF to Xero
Vanguard statements report activity per fund, so a portfolio of five funds produces five blocks of dated rows in one PDF. They convert into a single sheet you can pivot by fund. Every row is checked against the running balance before you get the file, so the figures reconcile instead of just looking plausible.

Questions
Vanguard brokerage statements, specifically
How do I convert a Vanguard brokerage statement to Xero?
Upload your Vanguard brokerage statement PDF, and LedgerLift returns a Xero-ready bank statement CSV with date, description, amount and balance columns — usually in seconds.
Can I export my Vanguard brokerage statement to Xero?
Yes. Vanguard doesn't export to Xero directly, so download the brokerage statement as a PDF and convert it here — no manual copying.
How do I download my Vanguard brokerage statement as a PDF?
Log on at vanguard.com. Select the My Accounts tab, then Statements. Choose the account and the statement period. Open and save the PDF — Vanguard delivers documents in PDF only. Then upload it here.
What does it cost to convert a Vanguard brokerage statement?
The first 3 pages are free and need no account. Past that it's $3 to unlock the statement you just converted, which also leaves you credit towards the next one. Full pricing.
Is it accurate?
The extracted rows are re-added and compared against the running balance printed on the brokerage statement. If the two agree, the figures are arithmetically sound; any row that can't be resolved confidently is flagged in the preview rather than quietly guessed at.
Is my data secure?
Your PDF is deleted automatically after processing and we keep no copy. There's no account to create, and we never sell, share or train on financial data.
Which Vanguard accounts are supported?
Brokerage, retirement and cash-management Vanguard statements. The dated activity converts; holdings and position tables aren't a ledger and are left alone. Multi-page documents are fine.
