QuickBooks integration

QuickBooks Online wrapped through the accounting integration so financial events from the operating layer land in the building's books.

Back to architecture

QuickBooks Online is the accounting system most commonly used by smaller and mid-tier residential operators in North America. The integration consumes the financial events emitted by the payment wrapper and lands them in QuickBooks with the metadata the building's accountant needs to reconcile without rework — building, unit, resident, category, period, behavioral context.

The integration is one-directional from the operating layer into QuickBooks. Charges, refunds, deposits, and adjustments flow in as journal entries against the right accounts on the right cadence. Where QuickBooks exposes class and location dimensions, the integration uses them so portfolio-level reporting works without manual tagging. Where the building's chart of accounts is non-standard, the integration is configured at deployment to map operating-layer categories onto the right account codes.

The point of the integration is not to replace the building's accountant. It is to remove the manual reconciliation step that traditionally bridges operations and accounting — so the books reflect the operational reality the standard scored, with no discretionary mapping in between.
