beancount-tools-collection

I use beancount for personal accounting — plain text, version controlled, no vendor lock-in. The problem is that every Swiss financial institution exports data in its own idiosyncratic format, and nobody builds importers for them.

So I built my own.

What’s Included

Importers for the Swiss institutions I actually use: Yuh (CSV), Viseca (JSON — covers the Migros Cumulus Credit Card too), VIAC (JSON, pillar 2 & 3a), and Finpension (CSV, pillar 3a). Also Interactive Brokers via FlexQuery XML and Revolut CSV for international coverage.

from beancount_tools_collection.importers import (
    finpension, ibkr, revolut,
    viac, viseca, yuh
)

CONFIG = [
    yuh.YuhImporter(
        account="Assets:Cash:Yuh:CHF",
        goals_base_account="Assets:Savings:Yuh"
    ),
    viac.ViacImporter(
        root_account="Assets:Pension:S3a:Viac:Portfolio1",
        deposit_account="Assets:Checking",
        share_lookup={
            "UBS SMI": {"isin": "CH0033782431", "symbol": "CH0033782431"},
        }
    ),
    ibkr.IBKRImporter(
        Mainaccount="Assets:Invest:InteractiveBrokers",
        DivAccount="Income:Dividends:InteractiveBrokers",
        WHTAccount="Expenses:Taxes:WithholdingTax",
        PnLAccount="Income:Invest:Gains",
        FeesAccount="Expenses:Invest:Fees",
        configFile="ibkr.yaml"
    ),
    # ... etc
]

Who It’s For

Primarily myself. But if you’re doing plain-text accounting in Switzerland and hitting the same wall I did, this might save you some time. MIT licensed, contributions welcome.
