What happens in Quickbooks when synced with Leap

  • Hello Sharon,

     

    When QuickBooks is synced with LEAP, the integration allows for seamless financial management by utilizing the general ledger or chart of accounts from QuickBooks. Here’s what happens:

     

    1. General Ledger Transactions: LEAP sends financial information to QuickBooks as general journals. This includes payments and expenses entered into LEAP, which are then included in the operating account bank reconciliations and classified as income or expenses on the chart of accounts.

    2. Accrual and Cash Accounting, depending on your accounting basis:

    • Accrual Accounting: LEAP posts a journal to QuickBooks as soon as an invoice is finalized, reflecting it as income.
    • Cash Accounting: Only payments and expenses are exported to QuickBooks, not invoices. This occurs when a transaction directly affects your bank account.

    3. Manual Export Options: The General Ledger Link screen in LEAP provides options to manually export outstanding journals to QuickBooks and view transactions with various statuses like Hold, Error, Warning, and Success.

    4. Balancing: It is crucial to regularly check that LEAP and QuickBooks balance, especially at month-end, by comparing Matter Balances with the QuickBooks Trial Balance.

    5. No Detailed Client Information: Only financial information is sent to QuickBooks; no detailed information about clients, invoices, or staff members is included.

     

    This integration is particularly useful for firms that need to manage their financial transactions efficiently while ensuring that their accounting records are up-to-date and accurate.

     

    Kind regards,
