How to Sync ARI with QuickBooks?

Step 1 – Connect

Your QuickBooks and ARI accounts

The first thing you need to do is connect your ARI and QuickBooks accounts. Luckily, we have made this process quite simple and intuitive.

Log in to ARI and then go to Settings. After that, scroll down to QuickBooks integration. Click the button and follow the instructions on the page in order to connect your accounts. If all good, you should end up on this page at the end of the workflow!

NOTE: If you don’t have a QuickBooks account already, then make sure you create one here

Step 2 – Setup

Sync options

ARI offers you the possibility to set up how your data is synced with your QuickBooks account. You can choose to sync your data manually or use ARI’s smart functions to sync your invoices, clients, and items automatically.

We recommend syncing your data manually at the beginning until you get used to both systems and get enough confidence in their workflow. After that, you can go back to ARI Settings and setup automatic sync with QuickBooks

Step 3 – Sync

Invoices, clients, inventory

Now that your ARI and QuickBooks accounts are connected and set up properly, it is time to sync your data. ARI can sync the following data to your QuickBooks account

  • Invoices: You can easily send your ARI invoice to your QuickBooks account with a simple click of a button. Just press the QuickBooks icon while on the invoice Menu
  • Clients: Similar to invoices, the QuickBooks button will be visible on the client edit page. Click on it if you like to send your client info to your QuickBooks account
  • Inventory: You can send parts and service items from ARI to QuickBooks so you can easily track these items on both systems.

NOTE: If you choose Auto-Sync, then app will prompt you to send your data to QuickBooks every time you save an invoice or add a new client or part!
