How Tormano's QuickBooks integration compares

Most CRMs treat QuickBooks as one more app in a marketplace. Tormano was built around it. What Tormano syncs, what the alternatives sync, side by side.

What Tormano syncs

400+QuickBooks actions
60+tabs in the QuickBooks workspace
13record types synced back from QuickBooks

Out of QuickBooks, back into the CRM

Thirteen QuickBooks record types flow back into Tormano. A change made in QuickBooks lands in the CRM in seconds instead of waiting for an overnight batch, and an hourly safety net catches anything a dropped connection would otherwise have lost.

QuickBooks Desktop

Tormano ships a QuickBooks Web Connector service for Desktop, plus IIF export. Desktop is a full connection, not a file hand-off.

Beyond sync

  • Revenue recognition (ASC 606) and deferred revenue schedules
  • Subscription and recurring-revenue analytics
  • Margin and profitability analysis
  • Working-capital and DSO tracking
  • Smart Collections with dunning
  • Multi-currency and multi-entity consolidation
  • Fund accounting mapped to QuickBooks Classes and Locations
  • Budget versus actual, P&L by customer, and eight QuickBooks reports

Against the B2B CRMs

Method CRM keeps more QuickBooks tables in continuous two-way sync. Tormano covers more of the accounting workflow. Here is the full picture.

Notes and sources

Bloomerang is the only one of these with an inbound path, and describes it plainly: “Both integrations are one-way syncs from the system of record.” Six fields lock on a synced transaction (Date, Amount, Fund, Campaign, Appeal, Method), and the lock also applies to transactions marked Do Not Sync, which never went to QuickBooks at all. Desktop is an IIF file download you import by hand. About the integration · Desktop and IIF

DonorPerfect labels it “Integration Type: One-Direction API” on its own page. It posts journal entries and nothing else: no sales receipts, no invoices, no pledges, no in-kind gifts. There is no ongoing sync, because a person clicks Post Gifts. DonorPerfect

Neon CRM covers a broad set of transaction types: donations, memberships, event registrations and store purchases all reach QuickBooks, and Desktop runs over a live Web Connector. Neon's product tour describes selecting the transactions you wish to sync and clicking Sync Transactions. Neon product tour
