This video (2 min) is for you!
IMPORTANT! In order to minimize as many potential errors as possible, your setup should be the same for QuickBooks Online (QBO) and Budgeto. For Example;
- Your fiscal year in QBO should match the fiscal year entered into Budgeto.
- Both systems should use the same country.
- Both systems should use the same currencies.
- Etc.
NOTE, Budgeto will never "write" anything into your QuickBooks Online account, as Budgeto only reads the data. Changes you make in your Budgeto account WILL NOT overwrite anything in your QuickBooks Online account.
To link QuickBooks Online (QBO) to Budgeto, follow these few easy steps:
1- Click on the Link a Bookkeeping Software menu available in 2 different places in the application:
2- Click the Connect to QuickBooks button (Green rectangle).
3- Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
4- A) Choose which company you want to connect to Budgeto.
4- B) You can see a list of Apps that are already connected to the selected QBO company.

6- Congratulations! Your Budgeto and QuickBooks Online accounts are now synced!
Q: "I am having issues connecting QuickBooks Online to Budgeto"
A: This can happen for one of 3 reasons:
- There is a technical issue on QBO's end.
Sometimes, their platform might be down, which can halt the synchronization process. Although unlikely, it still happens in the software industry. Make sure to check their social media accounts for updates. - You do not have the permission rights to connect to the QBO platform. Make sure with your employer that you are approved with "manage" rights to use the QBO platform.
- There is an issue in the Budgeto and QBO communication link.
WHAT TO DO NEXT
Now that your Budgeto and QuickBooks Online accounts are sync, there's a few things you can do next:
1- Navigate to your Historical Dashboard
At the top of the Historical Dashboard, you will find information relating to your "Company Settings". This is the same information/settings found in the normal company settings menu. Note that you will see a helpful tip below explaining exactly what your fiscal year is set to.
To access more information relating to your company settings, take a look at this related article from our Knowledge Base:
- Company Settings Articles/Information
2- Review the validation in both your Historical Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet.
Confirm that the Validation is 0.00 for every month.

Remember! You can always go back and edit your QuickBooks Online (QBO) mapping with Budgeto. Here is another useful article from our Knowledge Base that explains how to proceed:

YOU'RE NOT DONE! After linking/mapping your Budgeto account with your QuickBooks Online account, it is IMPORTANT that you work on your Manual Variations. The Manual Variations Menu deals with the movement of money in the future that is related to your past. For example, you need to "teach" the system (Budgeto) when you will receive or move money associated with your accounts. (Ex: Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, etc.)
