Zoho Expense integrates with QuickBooks Online: Making employee expenses accounting easy

Zoho Expense is all about making expense reporting effortless, but once expenses get approved, the labor of processing them falls on the finance team. For a manager, it is probably 20 odd reports a month. But a finance team has to handle an average of 100 expense reports a month for reimbursements and accounting for the same.

We’re making accounting as easy as possible by integrating Zoho Expense with every major accounting tool. Last year, we launched Zoho Expense pre-integrated with our accounting app, Zoho Books. We’re kick starting another year of integrations by connecting to one of the top accounting tools in the industry, QuickBooks Online.

Here’s how the integration will benefit you:

      1. Automatic accounting of expenses

Once expenses get approved in Zoho Expense, they are moved to your QuickBooks account., accounting entries are automatically made with expense categories properly matched to their respective chart of account types.QuickBooks Online enters expenses as bills and the employee who submits them is saved as the vendor. 

      2. Create expense reports for QuickBooks Online customers

By importing your customers from QuickBooks into Zoho Expense, you can create expense reports for them to see how much you are spending to bring in or maintain each customer. Newly added customers in QuickBooks Online areautomatically updated in Zoho Expense.

      3. One click to import expenses

You can move expenses from Zoho Expense to QuickBooks Online in just a click of a button. As soon as an expense report is approved, it gets pushed to QuickBooks Online where all the expenses and cash advances are captured.

       4. Customize the integration

Choose what you want to see in QuickBooks Online and how you want to movedata. With the two-way integration, you can move data from QuickBooks Online to Zoho Expense and vice versa. Once a day, all your customers, and expense account types get copied to Zoho Expense and employees get imported as users.

We would love to hear your feedback on how we can make the integration even more useful for your business. You can learn more about the integration here or learn how to set it up by attending our live webinar.

Introducing Polling: Know the pulse of your audience with Zoho ShowTime.

Kyle delivers a presentation to a bunch of management students. During his session, he poses questions out loud to improve participation and gather input. Unfortunately, these types of questions don’t always give you the best results. You get stock answers, or many students sit silently because they are afraid to speak in front of others. Poor Kyle has a difficult time figuring out where he went wrong.

Let’s face it, we don’t mean it when we say, “I do not need a rating” or “what my viewers think is none of my business”. In reality we are concerned about our audiences’ opinion. So how do we bridge this gap?
