How to download your Found statements

The fastest way to get the monthly PDF statements from Found that you need for a profit & loss statement: the official PDFs, with the printed balances that let every figure reconcile.

UPDATED JULY 2026 · WRITTEN BY A LICENSED CPA · RAPIDPNL
THE SHORT VERSION
  • Statements live under settings or documents in the Found app, with the same PDFs available on the web version.
  • One electronic statement per closed monthly cycle; no paper option exists.
  • Statement history typically stays available while the account is open, and support can pull older months.
  • Save the monthly statement PDF, not a transaction or tax export; only the statement prints the balances that let the math be checked.
  • Found's built-in tax and expense tallies are not statements. The P&L is built from the statement PDFs alone.

Where Found keeps your statements

App → Settings / Documents → Statements

Statements are easiest to download on a desktop browser rather than the mobile app. If the exact wording differs from the steps below, look for “Statements” or “Statements & Documents”; banks tuck it under the account or a top-level menu.

Step by step

  1. 01Found is built around its app, but there is a web version: sign in at found.com on a desktop browser.
  2. 02Open settings or the documents area and look for “Statements.”
  3. 03Choose the month; each closed cycle appears as a PDF.
  4. 04Download and save the file.
  5. 05Repeat for every month your P&L should cover.
Download the PDF, not a screenshot or a spreadsheet export. RapidPnL reads the official statement PDF because it carries the beginning and ending balances. That's what lets us prove your P&L reconciles to the penny. Found is popular with sole proprietors and gig workers. If the account mixes business and personal spending, expect a few extra review questions; the guided review exists for exactly that.

From the mobile app

The desktop site is the reliable route, but if you only have your phone, most months are reachable from the app too. Menu placement changes more often on mobile, so treat these as the general path rather than exact taps.

  1. 01Open the Found app and sign in; the app is the primary interface.
  2. 02Go to settings or your profile and find the statements or documents entry.
  3. 03Tap the month you need and the statement opens as a PDF.
  4. 04Save it to Files or email it to yourself. Repeat per month; the web login at found.com works as a fallback.

How far back can you go?

Found issues monthly electronic statements and typically keeps them available while the account is open; support can retrieve older ones. If you need older statements than appear online, contact the bank to request them.

Turn those statements into a P&L

Upload the PDFs and get a management-use profit & loss in minutes, with every statement reconciled to the penny. $49 for 3 months, then $9 each additional month. Full refund if we can't reconcile.

The free statement is read, categorized, and reconciled on screen before you pay anything. One per person; no card required.

What the statement PDF contains, and why it matters

A monthly statement is more than a list of transactions. It prints three things a raw export never does: the beginning balance, the ending balance, and the totals for the cycle. Those printed balances are what make the document verifiable. RapidPnL adds the beginning balance to every transaction on the statement and checks that the result equals the printed ending balance, to the penny. If the math holds, you know nothing was missed, misread, or counted twice. If it doesn't, the statement is flagged and reviewed rather than quietly delivered with broken numbers. No AI-generated figure ever lands on the P&L; the AI only reads and categorizes, and deterministic code does all of the arithmetic.

This is exactly why transaction exports and screenshots fall short. A CSV export is a bare list with no printed balances, so there is nothing independent to check it against; a missing week or a duplicated day would pass unnoticed. Screenshots and photos are worse: they capture part of a page, at whatever quality your screen and camera allow, with no totals at all. The official monthly statement PDF is the one document your bank has already committed to, balances included, which is why it's the required input.

Format matters too. Statements downloaded from your bank's website are text-based PDFs: the characters are real text that software can read precisely. A scanned paper statement is a picture of text, and pictures introduce read errors that no reconciliation gate can fully repair. If all you have is paper, it's almost always faster to download the digital original from online banking than to scan. Each PDF can be up to 10 MB, which comfortably fits even long business statements.

Finally, gather everything in one pass. If the business runs through a checking account, a savings account, and a credit card, download all of them for every month in your period. RapidPnL matches card payments between the bank and card statements so the payment isn't counted once as a bank withdrawal and again as card spending, and transfers between your own accounts are excluded from income and expenses entirely. One complete set of PDFs, uploaded together, produces one clean P&L; a partial set leaves gaps you would otherwise have to explain to a lender.

If something goes wrong

The problems below cover most of what goes sideways when downloading statements from Found, with the quickest way out of each.

Statements aren't where you're looking

They sit under settings or documents, not in the activity feed. Update the app if the entry is missing, or sign in on the web and look there.

You grabbed a spending or tax report instead

Found's expense and tax summaries are estimates for your own planning, not statements. Only the monthly statement PDF carries printed balances, so that's the file to upload.

No statement for the month that just ended

Electronic statements generate a few days after the cycle closes. If it has been more than a week, contact Found support; the PDF can't be produced early.

The account is closed

App access fades after closure, and there was never a paper trail. Download all months before closing if possible; otherwise ask Found support for copies.

What the statements become

Common questions

How many months of Found statements should I download?

For a profit & loss statement, download every month in the period you want to cover; most business loans ask for 3, 6, or 12 months. RapidPnL covers 3 statement-months for $49, then $9 per additional month.

Should I download a PDF or export transactions to Excel/CSV?

Download the monthly statement PDF. A transaction export usually lacks the beginning and ending balances that let RapidPnL prove every statement reconciles to the penny. The official PDF has them.

How far back do Found statements go online?

Found issues monthly electronic statements and typically keeps them available while the account is open; support can retrieve older ones.

Do credit card statements work too?

Yes. Upload your business checking and any business credit card statements together. RapidPnL matches card payments to your bank so nothing gets double-counted.

What happens if a statement doesn't reconcile?

Every statement is checked: beginning balance plus every transaction must equal the printed ending balance. Anything that doesn't reconcile is flagged and reviewed instead of being delivered silently, and if your statements can't be reconciled at all, you get a full refund.

Can I try it before paying?

Yes. One statement of up to 15 pages runs free (an account is required) and the result appears on screen. There is also an interactive demo built on fictional data if you'd rather look around first.
