    I use hledger-flow [1]. It's an opinionated way of importing csvs into the hledger format. Works really well for me, just export the csvs, write a mapping and you are good to go.

    It supports preprocessing the csvs if you need to clean the data or compute some new fields which is really powerful. Once you are up and running it only needs some minor updates each month to map unidentifiable transactions I can do this in under an hour these days.

    I use https://github.com/apauley/hledger-flow to manage the importing/parsing. I have 20 various accounts and after a while it was just too much effort rolling my own solution.
