Job cost from the field, posted into QuickBooks Online

Connect QuickBooks Online with your Intuit login, map your chart once, and SitewideOps posts bills, vendor credits, and summarized journal entries into QuickBooks with the project, location, department, cost code, and cost type on every line.

Connect in minutes, keep your books yours

The connection is made inside SitewideOps through Intuit’s own sign-in: Settings, Integrations, Connect QuickBooks. No API keys to paste, no middleware, nothing installed on a desktop. Once connected, SitewideOps reads your account list and your existing customers so you can map posting rules and match records; from then on it pushes AP bills, vendor credits, and summarized journal entries into QuickBooks.

QuickBooks Online stays the general ledger of record. SitewideOps does not create accounts, does not edit your chart, and ships with no default account numbers. You import your chart, map cost types and posting roles to accounts in Settings, and a document that would hit an unmapped account fails loudly instead of posting somewhere plausible.

What a controller will ask about

The connector is built around the failure modes that make bookkeepers distrust integrations.

🔐

Intuit sign-in, not a shared password

A workspace administrator authorizes the connection on the Intuit consent screen. SitewideOps holds the connection token, never your QuickBooks password, and the connection can be revoked from either side.

🧮

Dimensions on every line

Project/Job, Location, Department, Cost Code, and Cost Type, plus the vendor or customer, travel with every bill and journal line so QuickBooks reports can be sliced the way your job costing already is.

📚

Your chart, your posting rules

No built-in chart, no default rules. Import your QuickBooks chart, then map cost types and system roles (AP, GRNI, inventory, WIP, retainage) to accounts. Change the map any time; it affects future postings only.

🔁

Posts once, never twice

Every GL-bound document carries an immutable posting reference, and a retry after a network fault checks QuickBooks for the document number before sending again. A bill that already posted stays posted once.

🚦

Respects your book close date

If QuickBooks refuses a post because the date falls on or before your close date, or because the document number already exists, the record lands in a sync exception queue with two actions: post into the next open period with a memo, or hold until the books are reopened.

📜

Sync audit log

Every push attempt is recorded with its request, response, and who triggered it, so a question about a bill in QuickBooks has an answer without digging.

🔌

Open REST API

A versioned public REST API with an OpenAPI spec and scoped keys is live for the systems the native connector does not cover, including timekeeping and payroll.

What it deliberately does not do

The sync runs one direction, from SitewideOps into QuickBooks. It does not pull journals back, does not monitor your ledger for changes, and does not attempt drift detection between the two systems. Your bookkeeper or CPA owns the books; the integration hands them clean, dimensioned documents. Month-end close, accruals, and financial statements happen in QuickBooks, on your schedule.

Also connects to Sage Intacct. The same posting engine, exception queue, and audit log drive the Sage Intacct integration. Tell us which system you run and we will walk through exactly how a bill moves from the job to your books on your demo.

Frequently asked questions

How do we connect QuickBooks Online?
From Settings, Integrations, a workspace administrator clicks Connect QuickBooks and signs in on the Intuit consent screen. That is the whole setup; there are no keys to paste.
What gets posted to QuickBooks?
AP bills, vendor credits, and summarized journal entries for the rest of the operational ledger (labor, inventory, WIP adjustments, corrections). Each line carries project, location, department, cost code, and cost type.
Does it sync both directions?
No, by design. On connect it reads your account list and customers so you can map and match records; after that, records move from SitewideOps into QuickBooks only. QuickBooks stays the ledger of record.
What happens if a bill is dated before our close date?
QuickBooks rejects it and the bill lands in a sync exception queue. You choose to post it into the next open period with a memo, or hold it until the books are reopened. Nothing retries silently.
Do we need QuickBooks Desktop support?
The native connector is for QuickBooks Online. Desktop is not supported.
What if we run Sage Intacct?
The same engine connects natively to Sage Intacct. See the Sage Intacct integration page.
