QuickBooks is the world’s most popular accounting software. So, chances are, you might be using it in your business. That’s why we wanted to put together a quick post that covers why it’s important to ensure Quickbase and QuickBooks integrate as much and as efficiently as they can.
In general, accounting systems are excellent at providing a general ledger and system of record. But they aren’t always as good at managing all the processes and project management aspects of accounting that the business requires. An integration between QuickBooks and Quickbase is one of the best ways to bridge this gap. In essence, this helps ‘marry’ the ongoing business process with accounting best practices. This includes things like using milestones to trigger invoices, tracking against budgeted time in QuickBooks within Quickbase, adding invoices directly in Quickbase, and leveraging Quickbase and Netsuite integrations for enterprise projects.
VeilSun can help you combine Quickbase with QuickBooks Desktop or QuickBooks Online to build a robust end-to-end process at a fraction of the cost of an ERP.
Check out some of the common integrated processes with Quickbase and QuickBooks:
- Sales team manages opportunities and activities in Quickbase. When a new opportunity or product is sold, an invoice is created in QuickBooks.
- Estimators build complex quotes in Quickbase. Estimate goes through an approval process and is sent to customer via Quickbase. When the job is sold, purchase orders to vendors are created in QuickBooks
- New vendors are on boarded through Quickbase. Once a vendor is approved, that vendor, along with all of its information stored in Quickbase (such as contracts, documentation, pricing, etc.) is added to QuickBooks.
