Overview
The complete platform.
A true automation-based bookkeeping platform will help you operate your end-to-end bookkeeping programs. While there are many bookkeeping solutions available today that can help streamline bookkeeping tasks, not all solutions are built the same. In fact, some solutions are better when they team up to create a powerful, unique partnership. This page will help you understand how Botkeeper connects with QuickBooks Online to get the bookkeeping done for you and your clients!
A DUO TO GET THE BOOKKEEPING DONE
Investing in an automated bookkeeping solution can transform your firm. Making sure your chosen solution uses the right set of integrated tools will help drive accuracy, efficiency, security, and ultimately tie all your bookkeeping efforts back to ROI. This is why Botkeeper integrates with QuickBooks Online.
As the #1 accounting software for small businesses, QuickBooks Online is a general ledger software used to manage income and expenses and keep track of a business's financial health. QBO typically requires working with an accountant or bookkeeper to ensure the accuracy of the monthly bookkeeping.
Botkeeper is not a general ledger in itself but rather works alongside the QuickBooks Online general ledger to perform daily accounting needs using a highly skilled accounting team and technology efficiencies.
Botkeeper provides visibility, ease of management, and a 60% increase in efficiency and scale for any firm providing accounting services to clients on QBO. By having the clients QBO account connected to the Botkeeper Platform, the Botkeeper Accounting team can quickly and simply gain visibility into vendor names and line item history, access uncategorized client transactions that can be reviewed by Botkeeper’s machine learning models for categorization, and provide a streamlined transaction inquiry process between Botkeeper, your firm, and your clients.
And to create that seamless month-end close process, Botkeeper can pull statements directly from your clients’ various financial institutions using our Smart Connect feature and completes the bank & credit card reconciliations directly back in QBO. We then head back over to QBO to extract the standard reports: Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss Statement, and Statement of Cash Flows. Then, we upload them conveniently in the Botkeeper Files feature so all your client's QBO reports are in one convenient place and you don't have to go from system to system to retrieve them.
The Botkeeper and QBO duo result is lightning-fast and hyper-efficient bookkeeping (data entry, reconciliations, classifications, etc.) month after month.
DID SOMEONE SAY AUTOMATION?
Finding the right automated accounting solution for all your bookkeeping needs can become the foundation of your practice and the differentiator you need to grow. If you are a QBO user, you are probably very familiar with automation.

QuickBooks automated workflows enable growing businesses to reduce the time and cost they spend on processes. QBO allows you to use automation to send and pay invoices, transactional customer communications, and, cash flow management. Rather than manually enter individual transactions that occur over and over, you can automate this process by setting up recurring transactions. Bills, rent payments or income, purchase orders from suppliers, monthly fees for your customers, etc., are all perfect opportunities for recurring transactions. QBO also offers 'QuickBook Online Rules' to automatically document transactions that meet certain conditions.
Botkeeper uses automation but in a different way. For starters, Botkeeper helps to improve 'QuickBooks Online Rules' functionality, acting as the ‘reviewer’ for those transactions. Then, by having the client's QBO account connected to the Botkeeper Platform, we can then build off the QBO data to use automation to combine various data sources while applying rules, processes, and calculations so you get the most insightful custom reporting and dashboards. We then leverage our machine learning technology to handle the labor-intensive bookkeeping tasks by processing and categorizing transactions at an incredibly high accuracy level and syncing them back to QBO. The technology also learns more about your clients, and accuracy continues to improve. We extract data from receipts, process payroll, pay bills, send invoices, reconcile accounts, and generate beautiful reports.
All this to say that Botkeeper and QBO are basically a dream team of automation!
Seamless Scoping
Gone are the days of manual scoping. Let the Botkeeper and QBO integration make it seamless.

This QBO data gives us a high-level understanding of your client's books and their needs, and then allows us to give you calculated suggestions on the best Botkeeper package and pricing for each of your clients from their own QBO data. AND it enables you to scope clients in less than 5 minutes!
