With no background in accounting, I was impressed with the Beancount documentation. Very well written and a great way to learn accounting. I am looking for a solution to track my investments but I find it a bit overwhelming to get started with Beancount from scratch. Is there a tool to convert brokerage data into Beancount data from scratch?

Me too, one of main reasons for choosing it.

Problem is they are all different. But other people share what they have come up with. Maybe check the mailing list, also search for Red's Importers. If those do not work for you 'out of the box', you might need to hack something together. But you can get help on the mailing list.
