# QuickBooks

> Push sales, inventory, and delivery data into QuickBooks.

Garde generates the journal entries. You review them and push to QuickBooks. No more month-end spreadsheet marathons.

Works with **QuickBooks Online** and **QuickBooks Desktop**.

## Connect it

1. In the dashboard, go to **Accounting → Integrations**.
2. Connect QuickBooks and sign in with your QuickBooks admin account.
3. Your chart of accounts loads into Garde for mapping.

## Map accounts once

Do this before your first export. It's the setup that makes everything after automatic.

* **Sales mapping**: map sales sources and payment types to QuickBooks accounts.
* **Category accounts mapping**: map inventory categories (produce, protein, paper) to COGS accounts.
* **Invoice and bill accounts**: set the default accounts for vendor invoices and bills.
* **Delivery mapping**: map DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, and ezCater to their accounts.

Mappings live under **Accounting → Setup** in the dashboard.

## What flows over

* **Sales journals**: daily sales, taxes, tips, and payments as journal entries. Review under **Accounting → Sales Journals**, then export.
* **Inventory journals**: COGS entries generated from your counts. Review under **Accounting → Inventory Journals**.
* **Delivery deposits**: upload platform statements under **Accounting → Delivery Deposits** and sync the payouts, fees, and commissions to QuickBooks.

## The rhythm that works

* Daily: sales journals go over automatically once mapped.
* Weekly: upload delivery statements as they arrive.
* After each count: review and export the inventory journal.

Do this and month-end close is days, not weeks.

## When an export fails

* Nine times out of ten it's an unmapped account. Check **Accounting → Setup** for anything unmapped.
* Renamed or deleted an account in QuickBooks? Re-map it in Garde.
