What flows in

Data from QuickBooks into your model

Designed so you choose the fields that matter. Everything else stays out.

Chart of accounts
Built so every QuickBooks account, sub-accounts included, is mapped once to a model line and revenue and costs land in the right place each month.
Monthly P&L & journals
Designed to bring in monthly profit and loss and journal entries, so adjustments your accountant posts at month end appear in actuals.
Classes & locations
QuickBooks classes and locations (on Plus and Advanced plans) are designed to become model segments, so spend rolls up by department or site.

What you can model

What QuickBooks data helps you decide

For the monthly question: did we spend what we planned, and if not, where did the money go?

Spend against plan
Built to put monthly QuickBooks actuals beside each plan line, so overspend shows up by account, not just in the total.
Runway from your books
Burn is designed to come from the cash movements in QuickBooks, so runway reflects what actually left the bank.
Board-ready variance
Each variance is built to link to the QuickBooks accounts behind it, so you can answer 'why is marketing over?' before the board asks.

Setup

Three steps, no CSV exports.

Connect QuickBooks once and your forecast is built to read its latest data each time it refreshes.

  1. Step 1

    Connect

    Sign in with the account that owns your QuickBooks data and approve the connection. Startup Suite is built only to read your data.

  2. Step 2

    Map

    Pick the QuickBooks company, then map its accounts, classes and locations to lines in your model.

  3. Step 3

    Sync

    Your model is built to refresh from QuickBooks automatically, and nothing is written back.

Security & permissions

Your data stays yours

  • Read-only by design: Startup Suite is built never to change anything in QuickBooks.
  • Built so you can disconnect QuickBooks at any time.
  • We never sell your data.

QuickBooks questions

Connecting QuickBooks, answered

What founders ask before connecting QuickBooks.

Do I need a finance background to connect QuickBooks?

No. The setup is designed so you pick the accounts that matter and give each one a plain-English name in your model. Nothing in QuickBooks needs restructuring.

Can I split numbers by department or location?

Yes, if you already use classes or locations in QuickBooks. They are designed to become segments in your model, so plan-versus-actual can be read team by team.

Will it change anything in QuickBooks?

No. Startup Suite is built to read your QuickBooks data into your model and never edit your books.
