Mark, My apologies , I thought your question referred to recording the current value of your property. If your accountant is getting the bank statements, to catch your personal copy of the accounts up you will need to obtain copies of the bank statements either from him or the bank, if you do not have them already.
Your bank may alsooffer online access to records or offer a download of records in OFX or a similar format (my bank provides this facility for the past 7 years) in which case you can import the OFX files and then reconcile them against your statements (I have had errors on importing on rare occasions - transactions may be duplicated in the records for your bank account and loan account for example and imported twice although GNuCash will try to identify duplicates) which is quicker than entering them by hand from the statements. GnuCash has a number of import data formats ( see the GnuCash Tutoria and Concepts Guide (https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-guide/chapter_importing.html) or the Help manual https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-help/trans-import.html. There is currently a lot of duplication here as the material in the Guide has been largely already beenmoved to the Help manual and I am in the process of rewriting the Guide section as import examples. I have found OFX to be the most relaible as it has a fairly tight standard and CSV to be more problematical because it has no real standard. QIF is generally OK as well. In most cases start with small data sets (e.g month) first to sort out any importing difficulties and train the import matcher then increase the dataset size once you have it working reliably. Another possibility is that your accountant (for a fee of course) may be able to provide you with exported transactions from his records if he has entered them digitally.
