  3. Choose Connect QuickBooks, sign in with Intuit, and approve access to the intended QuickBooks company.
  4. After returning to Connections, check the company name and Connected status.
  5. To pull statements, open the financial statement item in Documents, find Pull from QuickBooks, select the period and accounting basis, and choose Pull.
  6. For a close, map accounts in Close, Template before choosing Fill balances from QuickBooks on the close board.

Questions and answers

What if Connect QuickBooks is not shown?
The card explains whether your plan needs a change, an admin needs to connect it, or the connector has not been switched on for your account. For the last case, use Report a problem at the bottom of the page. Vanward reads one set of books per company, so disconnect Xero before switching to QuickBooks.
What does Needs reconnecting mean?
QuickBooks is no longer accepting the connection. An admin can choose Connect again in Connections to resume pulls. Snapshots already captured remain if you disconnect.
