Setup guide

QuickBooks Online

What it does in ClientPulse: Reads your agency's own books in QuickBooks Online to surface AR aging, recurring revenue (MRR), and runway — and, on the accounting-firm side, watches your clients' books for stale bookkeeping and reconciliation lag. Status: Coming soon. The catalog card and signal definitions exist, but there is no automated connection yet. Tell us this is a deal-breaker (support@helloaurora.ai) and we'll prioritise it. Tier: Likely Pro+ when shipped. Per-agency: One QuickBooks Online company per ClientPulse workspace (agency-side books).

Tier: Likely Pro+ when shipped.

Per-agency: One QuickBooks Online company per ClientPulse workspace (agency-side books).

Before you start (prerequisites)

  • Account requirement: A QuickBooks Online subscription (any tier with API access).
  • You'll need admin access to the QuickBooks company to authorise the connection.
  • Cost: QuickBooks Online plans start around $30/month — see https://quickbooks.intuit.com/pricing. Free on ClientPulse's side.

Step-by-step setup

Setup steps will appear here once QuickBooks Online ships. The flow will mirror the other OAuth integrations:

1. In ClientPulse, click Connect QuickBooks Online on /dashboard/integrations/sources.

2. You'll be sent to Intuit's authorization screen. Sign in with your QuickBooks admin account and pick the company to connect.

3. Review and accept the requested read scopes (accounting data: invoices, payments, customers).

4. Intuit redirects you back to the Sources page with the connection live.

What you'll be able to do with it once connected

  • See agency AR aging, MRR, and runway signals on your own dashboard.
  • (Accounting vertical) Watch clients' books for stale bookkeeping and reconciliation lag as churn signals.
  • Surface overdue-invoice risk per client alongside email and project signals.

Common pitfalls (anticipated)

  • Pitfall: Connecting the wrong QuickBooks company (you manage several). Fix: Intuit's picker shows every company you can access — choose carefully. We'll surface the company name on the connected card so it's obvious.
  • Pitfall: API access not enabled on an older QuickBooks plan. Fix: API access is included on current Online plans; very old or Self-Employed plans may not qualify. Upgrade if you hit a wall.

Restrictions (anticipated)

  • Read-only. ClientPulse will not create or edit invoices, payments, or ledger entries.
  • One QuickBooks Online company per ClientPulse workspace for agency-side books.
