The AutoEntry Sync application allows you to sync data between QuickBooks Desktop on your desktop and the AutoEntry website. This integration means you can upload and extract all your invoices/bills/receipts and publish them directly to the company file.
We'll take you through the steps required to integrate your AutoEntry company with QuickBooks Desktop.
📌TIP: If you only require Bank Statement data extracted through AutoEntry, there is no need to download or install the AutoEntry Sync App. You can import your statement data another way.
📎NOTE: To complete these steps you will need to have the relevant company file open in QuickBooks Desktop to complete the integration and be logged in as an admin account there.
