FinTrace takes on the statement-analysis stage for a contested property matter, an estate dispute or an investigation into suspected misappropriation. The professional receives the findings and supporting evidence together.

What Each Delivers

FinTrace returns one searchable workbook covering the supplied accounts, alongside a clear findings report. The workbook includes the source file and person, transaction date, financial year and description. Debit and credit fields sit beside the amount and category so you can filter the transactions for your own analysis.

The report explains unusual transfers and possible undisclosed income. It flags cash-withdrawal patterns, gambling or crypto activity and gaps in supplied statements. Each finding cites its source PDF filename and page, keeping the underlying evidence close to the explanation.

You can supply statements in mixed order, including scans, without sorting or renaming them first. FinTrace identifies the bank, account holder and dates. Its staged workflow consolidates thousands of PDF documents into the ledger and report.

DocuClipper’s forensic-accounting page describes extraction and reconciliation, with transfer detection and flow-of-funds analysis. It also describes matching cheque images to statement transactions. Its exported rows retain a reference to the original PDF page for the firm’s workpapers and report templates.

Both options therefore have transfer analysis and source-page references. FinTrace’s benefit is having the analysis completed and explained for you, with a ledger that supports further work on the matter.

DocuClipper Pricing vs Per-Matter Quotes

DocuClipper pricing is based on a subscription and the number of pages processed. Its pricing page lists Starter, Business and Enterprise plans with monthly or annual billing. Users share the plan’s page allowance, with no per-seat fee.

The Business plan adds financial analysis, including cash flow and fraud detection. Unused monthly pages do not carry forward. Annual billing supplies the year’s page allowance upfront. Those terms affect the processing capacity available to your team and which analysis features it can use.

FinTrace quotes each matter in writing before work starts. The quote has a fixed base fee plus a per-page amount, with the total depending on scope. Your firm pays for the statement-analysis service without a software subscription or seat licences.

FinTrace completes that work at a fraction of the cost of manual review or engaging a forensic accountant for the same statement-analysis task. Forensic accountants can engage FinTrace for this stage and use its outputs in their wider work.

The engagement and pricing guide explains the assessment and quotation process. The bank statement converter comparison covers the wider market.

Who Does the Review Work

FinTrace takes over the processing and statement review that would otherwise occupy your team. Structured extraction and source-grounding checks preserve transaction facts, while independent reviews support the analysis. The handover includes the categorised ledger and a report explaining the findings.

DocuClipper’s transfer documentation describes a workflow your staff operate. A user starts automatic detection, reviews the paired transactions and approves or rejects suggested matches. Staff can also create matches manually. Its forensic-accounting page describes exporting the data into the firm’s report templates.

That leaves your team operating the software and developing the report for the matter. With FinTrace, you receive the completed statement-analysis report and direct access to the evidence behind its findings. Lawyers and accountants can then apply their expertise to those findings.

To have FinTrace complete your statement analysis, Request a matter assessment. Describe the matter and your timeframe. Include the approximate number of pages and accounts. Statements follow after assessment and acceptance of the quote.
