01
Intake
Bulk PDFs in any order, from any bank — scanned paper and born-digital alike. No pre-sorting, no templates: the engine reads bank, account holder and dates itself.
Forensic infrastructure for legal teams
The evidence engine.
FinTrace turns thousands of pages of bank statements — any bank, any format, scanned or born-digital — into structured, source-linked evidence that stands up in court.
Thousands of pages≈50 accounts15 years of statementsOne ledger
The process
Four stages. One chain of evidence.
02
Extraction
Thousands of pages become one structured Excel ledger: file name, person, date, financial year, description, debit and credit, amount, category.
03
Analysis
The engine looks deeper — cash-withdrawal patterns, gambling and crypto activity, transfers between related accounts and cross-currency matches.
04
Findings
A written findings report in which every finding cites the exact source page. Human-verifiable, court-ready — evidence, not output.
The evidence, structured
Every line entered. Every line sourced.
The story starts with structure: thousands of pages become one ledger. Watch the engine work: statement lines entered, categorised and reconciled — and the one that warrants attention flagged, with its source page attached.

The evidence, connected
Fifty accounts. One thread of evidence.
From that ledger the engine maps every account it reads, then follows the money between them — joint account to cash, cash to a related account, onwards through Wise to an overseas account. Each hop is dated, valued and cited to its source page.
The route, reconstructed from the extract above — the flagged withdrawal is the single crimson hop.
The evidence, matched
Same funds. Two currencies. One match.
And the thread holds even where the trail changes currency: the dollars that left through Wise are matched to the rupees that landed overseas two days later — down to the exchange rate.
Cross-currency match — reconstructed
Same funds, two currencies — matched automatically, with source pages cited for both sides.
Specifications
Built to withstand scrutiny.
Trust is the entire product. Each capability exists so a finding can be put in front of a Principal Legal Officer — or a court — and hold.
