Connect QuickBooks Online

Settings → QuickBooks → Connect QuickBooks links your company file, pulls customers, items, accounts, and workers for mapping, and syncs invoices, payments, and approved time.

What you'll do

Zentive stays the operations system; QuickBooks stays the accounting system. The connection is one-way for most records (Zentive → QuickBooks) and review-first: nothing syncs until mappings are ready.

Do this

  1. 1

    Settings → QuickBooks → Connect QuickBooks

    You sign in through Intuit with an owner-level QuickBooks Online account; Zentive never sees your password.

  2. 2

    Refresh

    Zentive pulls workers, customers, services, accounts, tax codes, and recent time records for review.

  3. 3

    Map

    Match Zentive services to QuickBooks items, Zentive tax rates to QuickBooks tax codes, expense accounts, and employees to QuickBooks workers (for time). Readiness shows what is still unmapped.

  4. 4

    Test one sync

    Sync one paid invoice and confirm it in QuickBooks before relying on it.

QuickBooks Setup

Payroll scope

Zentive sends approved time to QuickBooks TimeActivity. It does not create payroll runs or paychecks.
