Export Stripe invoices to CSV for your accountant

Accountants don't want screenshots or a folder of randomly named PDFs. They want a clean table they can reconcile and a set of source documents that match it. Here's how to produce both from Stripe in one step — and what makes a CSV genuinely useful for bookkeeping.

What belongs in the CSV

A useful bookkeeping export has one row per invoice with the fields that matter for reconciliation:

• ✓Invoice number — the unique reference your accountant books against
• ✓Date — issue date, in a sortable format (YYYY-MM-DD)
• ✓Customer — name and email
• ✓Amount and tax — net amount and VAT broken out separately
• ✓Currency and status — paid, open or void

One CSV, plus the PDFs that match

A spreadsheet alone isn't enough at tax time — your accountant needs the source documents too. InvoiceDownloader gives you the CSV and a ZIP of every invoice PDF, named by date and invoice number so they sort cleanly and map straight to the rows in your spreadsheet.

“Give them the summary to reconcile and the documents to back it up — in one handover.”

Filter before you export

Need just last quarter, or only paid invoices? Filter by date range and status first, then export — so the CSV you hand over already matches the period you're reporting. No deleting rows by hand afterwards.

From CSV to your accounting software

Because the export is a standard CSV, it drops into Excel, Google Sheets, or most accounting tools without reformatting. The separate tax column means you can total VAT for the period in one formula — which matters most when you're preparing for tax season.
