Why teams connect QuickBooks and Workday
Keep the customer, invoice, and payment records that QuickBooks and Workday share consistent in real time, whether the two systems split your finance stack or one is replacing the other.
Two finance systems in one company usually means one of two setups. Either the systems divide the work, with one issuing invoices or serving a business unit while the other holds the books, or one is on its way out and both must stay accurate during the transition. In both cases, the customer, invoice, and payment records the two systems share start to drift the moment updates are keyed twice or moved by hand.
Stacksync syncs Bills, Vendors, Items, Accounts in QuickBooks with Compensation, Time Off and Absence, Payroll Results, Suppliers in Workday bi-directionally and in real time. A record created or corrected in either system appears in the other within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of CSV exports and nightly batch jobs.
That matters most at close. When both systems agree on who was billed, what was paid, and what is outstanding, reconciliation stops being a hunt for which copy of the truth is current.
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.
- Push completed payroll results into a finance system or data warehouse each pay cycle.
- Import journal entries from external billing or expense systems into Workday Financials.
Parallel run during a migration
When one system is replacing the other, keep both live and matching through the cutover, so no transaction falls between the last export and go-live.
One customer master
A customer's name, billing details, or payment terms corrected in either system update the other immediately, so the next invoice always uses current information.
Payment status everywhere
A payment applied in one system updates the matching invoice in the other, so no one chases a balance that was already settled.
What you can sync between QuickBooks and Workday
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.
| QuickBooks objects | Workday objects | |
|---|---|---|
| Customers Billing entities kept consistent with CRM accounts and subscription tools | Time Off and Absence Balances and requests synced with scheduling and workforce tools. | |
| Invoices Receivables created from closed deals or orders and read back for payment status | Payroll Results Completed pay data exported to finance and benefits systems. | |
| Payments Received funds applied to invoices, synced for revenue reconciliation | Suppliers Workday Financials vendor records aligned with procurement tools. | |
| Bills Payables written in from procurement systems for AP processing | Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used. | |
| Vendors Supplier records aligned with purchasing and spend tools | Journal Entries Accounting entries imported from external subledgers into Workday Financials. | |
| Items Products and services referenced on invoice and bill lines | Custom Reports (RaaS) Tenant-defined reports exposed as web service endpoints, often the practical read surface for syncs. |

FAQ
QuickBooks and Workday integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between QuickBooks and Workday: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as QuickBooks's Customers and Invoices), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
-
Common patterns for QuickBooks and Workday: Parallel run during a migration; One customer master; Payment status everywhere. When one system is replacing the other, keep both live and matching through the cutover, so no transaction falls between the last export and go-live.
-
QuickBooks: REST API (QuickBooks Online). Authentication: OAuth 2.0. Workday: SOAP Workday Web Services (WWS), a REST API, and Reports-as-a-Service (RaaS) endpoints for custom reports. Authentication: OAuth 2.0 for the REST API; integration system users with WS-Security or certificate-based auth for SOAP. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
QuickBooks: The QuickBooks Online API includes a Change Data Capture operation that returns entities modified since a given timestamp, which incremental syncs use directly. Workday: Workday data is effective-dated: records carry validity dates, and reads can be scoped to an as-of moment, which shapes how syncs interpret changes. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between QuickBooks and Workday without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means QuickBooks and Workday records are not retained after a sync operation.
