Convert Brokerage Statements to Excel

Drop in any brokerage statement PDF — Charles Schwab, Fidelity, Vanguard, E*TRADE / Morgan Stanley, Merrill, TD Ameritrade, Interactive Brokers, Robinhood — and get a clean Excel file with holdings, transactions, dividends, and realized gains/losses on separate sheets. Year-end consolidated 1099s reconcile across DIV / INT / B / MISC sections.

Every broker formats statements differently

Schwab organizes by section. Fidelity has different layouts per product (Brokerage / IRA / NetBenefits 401(k) / Cash Management). Vanguard organizes by fund family. E*TRADE adds Stock Plan supplemental schedules for RSU and ESPP. Robinhood mixes stock + options + crypto. Merrill cash management looks like a bank statement. Generic PDF tools handle one layout and break on the others.

Tax preparers handling diversified clients see all six in a single envelope during busy season. Wealth advisors building household-level portfolio reports pull statements from multiple custodians. DIY investors tracking taxable + IRA + 401(k) across providers face the same retyping wall every quarter.

Every major broker layout, one workflow

PDFExcel reads Schwab, Fidelity, Vanguard, E*TRADE / Morgan Stanley, Robinhood, Merrill, TD Ameritrade, Interactive Brokers, and most regional broker-dealer statements with the same workflow. Holdings, transactions, dividends, and realized G&L extract as separate sheets with consistent column structure across brokers — making cross-custodian household reports practical.

Account type (Brokerage / IRA / Roth IRA / 401(k) / 529 / Stock Plan) tags every row so taxable Schedule D events stay distinguishable from tax-deferred IRA events. Year-end consolidated 1099s reconcile across DIV / INT / B / MISC sections. Pair with 1099 extraction for cross-broker tax-prep consolidation.

Fields you can pull

  • Custodian (Schwab / Fidelity / Vanguard / etc.)
  • Account Type (Brokerage / IRA / 401(k) / Stock Plan / 529)
  • Security Symbol + Name
  • Shares / Quantity
  • Cost Basis
  • Market Value
  • Realized Gain/Loss (Short-term / Long-term)
  • Dividend Amount + Tax Classification
  • Wash-Sale Adjustment
  • Section 1256 Flag (for futures/index options)

The model knows custodian-specific layout quirks (Schwab section structure, Fidelity multi-product, Vanguard per-fund, E*TRADE Stock Plan, Robinhood options) — and normalizes them into a consistent column structure so cross-broker household reports work.

Why tax preparers and advisors pick PDFExcel for brokerage

Most brokerage tools either need a custodian-specific API integration (advisor-managed only) or charge per-page at multi-account-household scale. PDFExcel reads any client-provided PDF directly.

  • Knows every major custodian. Schwab, Fidelity, Vanguard, E*TRADE, Robinhood, Merrill, TD Ameritrade, Interactive Brokers, plus regional broker-dealers. Trained on real cross-custodian client envelopes.
  • Free to start, no credit card. 10 documents free every month. Plans from $69/month for 50 documents — most preparers and DIY investors fit Starter or Pro.
  • No advisor-portal integration. Works on any client-provided PDF — no advisor-managed-only API gates, no per-custodian configuration.
  • Files deleted after processing. Brokerage statements contain sensitive position and tax data — files processed in memory and deleted immediately.

How it works

  1. Upload brokerage statements. Mix custodians in one upload — Schwab + Fidelity + Vanguard + Robinhood all in one client envelope works. Year-end consolidated 1099s + monthly statements both supported.
  2. Pick what you need. Holdings + Realized G&L for tax prep, Account Type tagging for taxable vs tax-deferred separation, Custodian column for cross-custodian household reports.
  3. Download by section. Excel workbook with each section as a sheet, custodian + account type tagged. Drop into your tax software, advisor portfolio system, or household tracking sheet.

What a multi-custodian household holdings sheet looks like

Custodian + account type tagged on every row. Cross-custodian aggregation works — pivot by symbol to see total household exposure regardless of where it's held.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work on every major U.S. broker?

Yes — Schwab, Fidelity, Vanguard, E*TRADE / Morgan Stanley, Merrill, TD Ameritrade, Interactive Brokers, Robinhood, plus most regional broker-dealers. Each custodian has its own dedicated page with custodian-specific guidance, but the unified pillar workflow handles them all consistently.

Will the output normalize across custodians for household reports?

Yes. Custodian and Account Type columns tag every row so cross-custodian aggregation works. A symbol held at Schwab Brokerage + Fidelity Roth IRA + Vanguard 529 shows up as 3 rows pivot-able to one household-level position.

Does it handle Stock Plan (RSU / ESPP / ISO)?

Yes — most heavily on E*TRADE (the dominant employer stock-plan recordkeeper). Stock Plan supplemental schedules extract with vest dates, FMV, ordinary income, and adjusted cost basis.

What about consolidated year-end 1099s?

Yes. Each custodian's consolidated 1099 (1099-DIV / 1099-INT / 1099-B / 1099-MISC) extracts as separate sheets. Run a tax-season batch upload mixing 1099s from 4 custodians — one workbook back with everything reconcilable.

Is this really free?

10 documents per month, free, forever. Plans from $69/month for 50 documents — most DIY investors fit Starter; preparers and advisors handling 10-50 client portfolios fit Pro at $199/month for 200 documents.
