Animal Friends OS + QuickBooks Online

Full 2-Way Sync

Stop entering invoices twice. Animal Friends OS syncs with QuickBooks Online in both directions. Invoices created in Animal Friends OS appear in QuickBooks. Payments recorded in either system reflect in both. Your accountant sees clean books without you lifting a finger.

You choose your integrations. We never lock you in.

Animal Friends OS is the only pet care software that lets you bring your own payment processor, your own SMS provider, and your own accounting system. Competitors force you onto their stack and charge you for the privilege.

How the Integration Works

Authorize the connection through QuickBooks OAuth from your Animal Friends OS dashboard. Once linked, the system maps your Animal Friends OS services to QuickBooks income accounts, clients to QuickBooks customers, and payment methods to QuickBooks deposit accounts. The initial sync pulls existing client data from QuickBooks so you do not start from scratch.

What Data Syncs

Invoices, payments, refunds, clients, and service items sync in real time. When you complete a grooming appointment and generate an invoice in Animal Friends OS, it appears in QuickBooks within seconds. When a client pays through the portal, the payment posts to both systems. Refunds processed in either system reflect in the other. Monthly membership charges create recurring entries automatically.

Account Mapping

Map your Animal Friends OS service categories (grooming, boarding, daycare, training, transport) to specific QuickBooks income accounts. Map payment processors (Stripe, Square, Clover) to specific QuickBooks bank accounts. Map sales tax to the correct QuickBooks tax code. One-time setup, then everything routes correctly forever.

Setup Steps

Step one: click Settings, then Accounting, then QuickBooks in Animal Friends OS. Step two: authorize the connection through QuickBooks OAuth. Step three: map your service categories to QuickBooks income accounts. Step four: map your payment processors to QuickBooks deposit accounts. The system suggests mappings based on your existing QuickBooks chart of accounts. Most businesses finish setup in under ten minutes.

Why This Matters for Your Pet Business

Pet care businesses lose hours every week to double-entry. You ring up a groom in your pet software, then log into QuickBooks and enter it again. Boarding invoices with add-ons and discounts are especially painful. Animal Friends OS eliminates that entirely. Your pet software and your accounting software speak to each other. Your books are always current. Tax time is a non-event. For more details, visit our dedicated QuickBooks integration guide.

Can my accountant access the synced data?
