FWIW anyone who has this problem, I looked at Money Thumb but the reviews were not very good. I found some software from ProperSoft called ProperConvert and tested it out on my bank statements. It seemed to work OK with the demo (10 transactions), and I used the demo to figure out how to get the data into my QBO without breaking anything, so I bought a license and it has worked like a charm. I only needed to deselect one line where it picked up the opening balance as a deposit, simple. Fast, powerful and accurate and a simple monthly pricing model vs volume pricing. I'd recommend.
