Connecting Your Accounting Platform to Bookkeep to Enable Financial Data Syncing

1. Connect Your Accounting Platform​

After you create your account at https://app.bookkeep.com/signup, you will be prompted to connect your accounting platform to your new entity:

Connect Accounting

We currently support connection to QuickBooks Online, Xero, Zoho Books, and Sage Intacct.

note

You can skip this step initially, but remember to complete the accounting connection later by navigating to 'Connections' in the left-side menu and selecting the 'Accounting' tab. See detailed instructions here.

2. Log Into Your Accounting Platform​

Clicking on the appropriate link above for connecting your accounting platform will open a pop-up window where you can enter your login credentials used to access your accounting platform:

Quickbooks Online​

QuickBooks Online Login

Xero​

Xero Login

Zoho Books​

Zoho Books Login

Sage Intacct​

note

If you have an accounting/bookkeeping practice with multiple clients, be sure that you select the appropriate company file for your client you are setting up.

QuickBooks Company Select

3. Connection Options​

Upon successful completion of the previous step, your connection will be displayed under the "Accounting" tab on the "Connections" view as shown below, which gives you a few options:

Connection Options

Refresh​

This function is useful when you create new accounts or tax rates in your accounting platform, which will then be picked up and displayed in the mapping windows for your connected apps.

Test​

This button will test the integrity of your accounting platform connection to verify the connection is fully operational.

Delete​

This button allows you to remove the connected accounting platform.

4. Connect Additional Apps​

After this step is completed, you will need to connect your ecommerce and point-of-sale apps to start posting your data to your accounting platform.

note

If you decide to skip this step, you can still connect your apps to import data into Bookkeep for previewing without posting it to your accounting records. However, remember that you won't be able to map this incoming data to your accounting platform accounts until you complete the accounting connection process.
