Integrate your QuickBooks Account with Moverbase

  • Created:

Moverbase is the best moving company system, while QuickBooks is the most popular accounting system for small and medium size businesses in the world. Most moving companies use QuickBooks for their accounting.  Needless to say, we are building the framework of a powerful integration together.

This video will help jumpstart your integration with Moverbase:

Step by Step Instructions

  1. You must have a paying Moverbase account, or you must upgrade to one.
  2. You must have an active QuickBooks online account.
  3. Make sure your QuickBooks account has:
    1. A Service Account or Sales Account set up to capture your line item charges and refunds incomes.
    2. An Undeposited Funds account to capture all the Payments Deposits & Refunds Deposits. QB generally sets this up by default.
  4. Set up all your taxes in QuickBooks that mirror the taxes you have set up in Moverbase if you have any.  Otherwise, this will result in an export error.
  5. Go to Setup > Integrations > QuickBooks in your Moverbase account and click the button to connect your QuickBooks account.  Follow authentication instructions to connect the accounts.  You will see a summary of the successful connection like this one below:
