Integrating your Lawcus account with Quickbooks Online can simplify your bookkeeping and accounting needs. This integration offers a one-way sync, effortlessly managing invoicing, payments, expenses, report analytics, and other financial tracking requirements.
Your Lawcus data will be automatically transferred to QuickBooks, ensuring a smooth flow of information. However, please note that QuickBooks data will not be automatically transmitted back to Lawcus.
To integrate Quickbooks with Lawcus, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to your user avatar and click Settings.
2. Go to Apps and Integrations and click Quickbooks.

5. Authorize the integration by clicking Connect in the next window.
6. Your screen should look like this after a successful integration.
Note: If your Quickbooks account is old and you have bookkeeping accounts created there, map those accounts with Lawcus. If you have a new QuickBooks account, create new accounts on QuickBooks first.
7. In your Quickbooks Online account, go to the Accounting tab.
8. Click New to create new accounts.
9. Set up a Trust account or any other account and click Save and Close when done.
10. Repeat the previous step to add all bank accounts.
Note: A Trust Liabilities account is automatically created for you if not found, so you only need to fill in the details.
11. In the Sales tab, click Products and Services in the dropdown.
12. Click New and choose Service.
13. Set up a service for Expenses.
Note: From the Sales tax drop-down, select Zero-rated.

Creating HST/GST services and mapping it to Lawcus taxes is the most important step of this integration.
Make sure to sign into your Quickbooks account in another tab, but on the same browser as the one where Lawcus is currently open.
Take note of your services' mapping to ensure accurate data syncing between Lawcus and Quickbooks Online.
