CSV export

Export file — supported exports

Prefer to work with an accountant using a file? TotalDrive supports exporting a CSV of your driving instructor income and expenses.

With CSV files, TotalDrive generates a file from your recorded income and expenses. As a result, you can share the same structured data with your accountant without re-keying details.

In addition, CSV file can fit alongside your wider accounting workflow. For example, you can export for each quarter, or whenever you need a clean snapshot before submitting figures.

Finally, if you later switch to an accounting integration, TotalDrive still helps you keep categories consistent and your records audit-friendly.

If you export regularly, you can keep a consistent paper trail for your bookkeeping. Then, when it’s time to submit figures, you already have the data prepared in a clear format.

How csv export works (export, review, submit)

  1. Export your data: In TotalDrive, choose CSV file for the period you need.
  2. Review: Check the file for completeness (income, expenses, and key dates).
  3. Submit: Send the CSV to your accountant/partner, or keep it for your records.

Audit-friendly records: Exports are generated from your TotalDrive data, helping you keep consistent records for your accounting workflow.
