Sync Your CRM and Accounting in Real Time

Stop copying customer data between systems. We build automations that keep your CRM and accounting software in sync — so every contact, invoice, and payment is accurate and up to date.

The problem

  • Sales and finance teams maintain duplicate customer records across CRM and accounting software, leading to mismatched data and wasted effort.
  • Manual data entry between systems causes errors and delays in billing, slowing down cash collection and frustrating customers.
  • Revenue reporting requires manual reconciliation that takes hours every month, pulling finance teams away from higher-value work.

Example workflow

  1. 1

    CRM contact triggers sync

    A new contact or company created in your CRM automatically triggers a sync event to your accounting platform.

  2. 2

    Data mapping and validation

    Customer details — name, email, address, and tax ID — are mapped to the correct fields and validated before syncing.

  3. 3

    Create or match in accounting

    The contact is created in QuickBooks, Xero, or Zoho Books, or matched to an existing record to prevent duplicates.

  4. 4

    Auto-generate invoices from deals

    When a deal closes in the CRM, an invoice is automatically generated in your accounting software from the CRM line items.

  5. 5

    Payment status syncs back

    Payment status in accounting syncs back to the CRM deal record so sales always knows where revenue stands.

  6. 6

    Automated reconciliation report

    A monthly reconciliation report is generated automatically, flagging any discrepancies for review instead of manual cross-checking.

Frequently asked questions

Is the sync real-time or batched?

It depends on the use case. We configure real-time sync for critical records like new customers and closed deals, and batched sync for bulk operations like historical imports or periodic reconciliation runs.

What happens when records conflict between systems?

Conflict resolution rules are configured upfront with a preferred source of truth. For example, CRM is typically authoritative for contact details while accounting is authoritative for payment status. Conflicts are logged and flagged for review.

Can you sync historical data?

Yes. We run a one-time migration for existing records before turning on ongoing sync. This includes deduplication, field mapping, and validation to make sure both systems start from a clean, consistent baseline.

Which direction does the sync run?

Bidirectional by default, but it can be configured as one-way if preferred. Many clients start with CRM-to-accounting sync and add the reverse direction once they are comfortable with the setup.

Ready to connect your CRM and accounting?

We will map your systems, build the integration, and hand you a sync that runs without manual intervention.
