How to download your Lili statements

The fastest way to get the monthly PDF statements from Lili 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 are in the documents area of the Lili app, and the web dashboard shows the same PDFs.
  • One electronic statement per monthly cycle; there is no paper statement.
  • History typically stays available while the account is open, with support as the route to anything older.
  • Use the monthly statement PDF, not a transaction export or an expense report; exports have no printed balances to reconcile.
  • Lili accounts often carry both business and personal activity. Upload the statements as they are; the review step handles the mixed items.

Where Lili keeps your statements

App → 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. 01Lili is app-first, with a web dashboard at lili.co: sign in on a desktop browser if you prefer.
  2. 02Open the menu and find the documents or “Statements” area.
  3. 03Select the statement month.
  4. 04Download the PDF and save it.
  5. 05Repeat for each month you need.
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.

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 Lili app and sign in; the app is where most Lili banking happens.
  2. 02Go to the menu, then documents or statements.
  3. 03Pick the month; the PDF opens in a viewer.
  4. 04Save or share the file to yourself. The lili.co dashboard is the fallback for anything the app won't show.

How far back can you go?

Lili issues a statement each month and typically keeps them available while the account is open; support can help with older months. 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 Lili, with the quickest way out of each.

The statements entry is hiding

It lives with account documents in the menu, not next to your transactions. An outdated app version can also hide it, so update first, then try the web dashboard.

You downloaded an expense or tax summary

Lili's built-in reports categorize spending for your own use; they aren't statements and carry no balances. Get the dated monthly statement PDF instead.

The newest cycle hasn't appeared

Statements post shortly after each cycle closes. A just-ended month may take a few days; a mid-month opening date means the first statement comes after the first full cycle.

Closed account, statements needed

Because everything is electronic, closure eventually ends self-service access. Save every month before closing when you can, or ask Lili support for copies afterward.

What the statements become

Common questions

How many months of Lili 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 Lili statements go online?

Lili issues a statement each month and typically keeps them available while the account is open; support can help with older months.

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.
