Direct QuickBooks Connection

From QuickBooks to Budget-Ready in Minutes

Direct API Integration

Direct API connection to QuickBooks imports your complete Chart of Accounts hierarchy, class structure, and GL transactions (including memo field, vendor or customer, category, and class) automatically. Setup takes minutes, not the weeks of manual Excel report building you’re dreading.

On-Demand Data Flow

Your QuickBooks data flows seamlessly into Budgyt when you pull it – no manual exports, no CSV uploads, no spreadsheet gymnastics. You control when to import actuals, typically after your monthly close.

Complete Data Synchronization

Import your entire financial structure once, then pull actuals monthly for variance analysis and rolling forecasts. You can immediately see whether actuals were booked to budget, helping your financial close process. Your QuickBooks data becomes budget-ready without touching a spreadsheet.

Intelligent Data Mapping

Your QuickBooks Structure, Automatically Budget-Ready

Chart of Accounts Hierarchy

Every account, sub-account, and account hierarchy from QuickBooks maps automatically into Budgyt. No manual re-entry. No mapping tables to maintain. Your exact COA structure appears ready for budgeting.

Department & Class Tracking

QuickBooks departments and classes (including sub-classes) flow directly into Budgyt’s department structure. Track budgets and actuals by the same departments you’re already using in QuickBooks – automatic rollups included at both class and sub-class levels.

Custom Dimension Support

QuickBooks classes map to Budgyt departments for organizational structure. Use locations, vendors, and customers as budget dimensions. Budgyt maps these QuickBooks tracking categories, so you can budget and analyze by vendor, customer, or location.

Vendor & Customer Detail

Import vendor and customer tables from QuickBooks for detailed variance analysis. When you need to see which vendors are driving expense variances or which customers are exceeding revenue budgets, the data is already there.

Smart Transaction Import

Choose What You Need, When You Need It

Flexible Date Ranges

Import any date range you need; not just “last two months.” Need three years of history for trend analysis? Import it once. Need just Q4 actuals for year-end forecasting? Pull exactly that.

Selective Category Import

You control the level of detail through mapping settings. For each category, choose: category-level summary amount only, vendor/customer detail with memo fields, or vendor/customer only without memo clutter.

Monthly Actual Updates

Pull actuals on demand when you’re ready. Compare budget vs. actual side-by-side, then update your rolling forecasts based on real QuickBooks performance.

Transaction-Level Detail

Click any variance to drill down and see vendor/customer, date, memo, and dimension detail from QuickBooks transactions.

Budget Beyond QuickBooks

Forecast What Doesn’t Exist Yet

New Accounts & Departments

Budget for accounts and departments that don’t exist in QuickBooks yet. Planning to add a new revenue stream? Create the account structure in Budgyt and budget for it before it hits your QuickBooks file.

Future Department Planning

Expanding to new locations or adding departments? Build budgets for future structures while maintaining connections to your current QuickBooks setup. When you create them in QuickBooks, they map automatically.

Budget Access Without QuickBooks Access

Give department heads and managers budget visibility without granting them access to QuickBooks. They can see their budget vs. actual data, analyze variances at the vendor level, and update their forecasts – all while sensitive financial information stays protected. Perfect for organizations that need collaborative budgeting without compromising data security.

Monthly Reforecasting

QuickBooks Integration FAQs

How does the integration work?

Direct API connection to QuickBooks. Once you authorize Budgyt access through QuickBooks’ standard permission system, we automatically map your Chart of Accounts, departments, and dimensions. Then you can import GL transactions for any date range you need.

How often does data sync?

You control the sync frequency. Import actuals monthly for variance analysis and reforecasting, or pull data on-demand whenever you need updated numbers.

Can I import historical data?

Yes. Import any date range – not just recent months. Many customers import 2-3 years of history for trend analysis and realistic forecasting.

What if I have multiple QuickBooks companies?

Will this modify my QuickBooks data?

Never. Budgyt connects on a read-only basis. We import data for budgeting but never write back to or modify your QuickBooks file.

How long does setup take?
