While Intuit gave QuickBooks (Online) Advanced users the ability to export data directly to Google Sheets (spreadsheet app) way back in late 2019, and some enhancements have been made since that time it is still essentially a manual process. Unfortunately the users of other QuickBooks Online versions don't even have the export to Google Sheets functionality built directly into QBO, and I'm not aware that Intuit has any intention of making that a feature as it is clearly one of the selling points of 'Advanced.'
This is where today's App Aware comes into play. G-Accon lets you connect & sync Google Sheets with QuickBooks bidirectionally. You can easily connect Google Sheets with your QuickBooks companies in 2-way sync via G-Accon, then save tons of time by scheduling automatic exports, data refreshes or bulk uploads to QuickBooks directly from Google Sheets. You can also automatically email real-time reports to your clients or share them with colleagues or staff members along with your comments and should you choose collaborate by posting them to Google Drive.
Because G-Accon allows you to build templated to customize and automate data exports and reports you can schedule the refresh of your spreadsheets using a custom schedule that fits your requirements, the created BI dashboards by connecting your Google Spreadsheets containing your QBO data with Google's Data Studio. In no time at all you will be using professional looking Dashboards like you have been wanting for yourself, or be able to offer them to your client as part of your enhanced level of service.
Some of the other powerful features of G-Accon when used with QuickBooks Online include:
- It's unique ability to extract raw financial data from QuickBooks
- It's ability to connect to multiple QuickBooks organizations and consolidate data in one or multiple Google sheets
