Integration rating: 4.5 (23)

I'm still trying to figure out if I enter things in QBO or Factor. There was not any training after the onboarding. I understand there are some videos out there to watch, but I've not had time to get to those yet.

would be better if expenses would go from Factor to Qb as i manual move all exp in factor to QB and then remove them in Factor as we need to track for our Profit Loss statement

Without Factor including full accounting, it is imperative that Factor integrates with QB so users don't need to input data twice.

My bookkeeper did not want to learn a new software, so she stays in the QBO world and I work in Factor.
