Why teams connect Front and QuickBooks

Connect the financial records in QuickBooks with the work happening in Front, so both stay current without exports or copy-paste.

QuickBooks holds the financial truth: who the customers are, what they were billed, what they paid. Front is where part of the day-to-day work happens, and that work often involves the same customers and transactions. Without a live connection, the two drift apart, and people end up answering questions from stale copies.

Stacksync keeps Journal entries, Estimates, Purchase orders, Credit memos in QuickBooks and Comments, Contacts, Accounts, Inboxes in Front in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. Whatever records Front keeps and whatever events it produces, the overlap with QuickBooks is mapped field by field, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds.

There is no middleware to build, no API rate limits to babysit, and no nightly job that leaves the morning running on yesterday's data.

Common use cases

  • Reconcile payment-processor payouts against QuickBooks transactions.
  • Sync invoices and payments between QuickBooks and the CRM so sales sees billing status on the account record.
  • Mirror conversations tagged for escalation into engineering trackers through the synced database.
  • Feed CSAT and SLA reporting from synced conversation events rather than manual exports.

Where Front collects payments or triggers charges: events land in QuickBooks

Payment and charge activity flows into QuickBooks as it happens, so the books reflect reality without manual reconciliation.

Where Front tracks people or companies: one identity

A customer's details updated in either system update the other, so finance and the rest of the business stop maintaining two versions of the same customer.

Where Front handles customer conversations: billing context in view

Front-line teams see invoice and payment status from QuickBooks next to the customer they are helping, without logging into the finance system.

What you can sync between Front and QuickBooks

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Front objects QuickBooks objects
Conversations The central threaded unit that messages, comments, and tags attach to; synced for support analytics. Payments Received funds applied to invoices, synced for revenue reconciliation
Messages Inbound and outbound emails, chats, and SMS within a conversation; read out for response-time reporting. Bills Payables written in from procurement systems for AP processing
Comments Internal team notes on conversations; usually read-only in syncs. Vendors Supplier records aligned with purchasing and spend tools
Contacts People across channels; matched to CRM contacts, with custom fields carrying external context. Items Products and services referenced on invoice and bill lines
Accounts Company groupings of contacts; kept aligned with CRM accounts. Accounts The chart of accounts, mirrored so external postings map to the right ledger lines
Inboxes Shared queues that conversations live in; used to segment reporting by team or channel. Journal entries Manual postings exported for consolidated financial reporting
