How it works

From weekly timesheet to QuickBooks — in one seamless flow.

Designed around your QuickBooks Online configuration from day one, not as an afterthought add-on.

STEP 1

Connect QuickBooks Online

One-click cloud OAuth from Company Settings. No API keys, no desktop connectors, no CSVs.

STEP 2

Import your setup

Employees, Vendors, Customers, and Service Items sync automatically from QuickBooks — each with its own toggle.

STEP 3

Invite your team

Employees and 1099 contractors log in on any device to fill weekly timesheets, start timers, or both.

STEP 4

Approve & lock

Managers review hours and approve or reject entries. Locked timesheets ensure payroll data cannot be altered after sign-off.

STEP 5

Export to TimeActivity

Only approved entries export. Each becomes one TimeActivity record in QuickBooks mapped to the worker, Customer, and Service Item.

STEP 6

Run payroll & invoicing

QuickBooks handles payroll runs and customer billing straight from clean TimeActivity data — no re-keying.

Data Mapping

Clean fields that map one-to-one.

Everything your bookkeeper needs in QuickBooks, with zero manual copy-pasting.
