Before you start
- You must be a firm administrator with billing/billable edit permission.
- You need a QuickBooks Online account to authorize.
- Connection controls and settings appear only after the QuickBooks Online firm feature is enabled.
Step 1 — Enable the QuickBooks Online feature
- Open your firm in Manage Firms.
- In the firm's feature settings, turn the QuickBooks Online toggle to Yes.
- Once enabled, the Edit Firm page shows the QuickBooks connection controls.
Step 2 — Connect your QuickBooks Online account
- Select Connect QuickBooks Online Account.
- You're redirected to Intuit to authorize ADR Notable. Sign in and approve access.
- Intuit returns you to ADR Notable, which finishes the connection and returns you to your firm's Edit Firm page.
Step 3 — Map items and accounts (QuickBooks Settings)
After connecting, a QuickBooks Settings card appears on the Edit Firm page. This section lets you map ADR Notable items and accounts to QuickBooks Online.
The mapping fields include:
| ADR Notable field | Map it to (in QuickBooks Online) |
| Service Billables | Your Time/Labor service. |
| Service Billables Account | The default account for service billables / operating account. |
| Late Fees | Your Late Fees service. |
| Late Fees Account | The default account for late fees. |
| Expense Billables / Account | Your expense service and its account. |
| Previous Balances / Account | The item and account for previous balances |
| Adjustments / Account | The item and account for adjustments. |
| Advance Fee / Account | The item and account for advance fees. |
| Credit Balance / Account | The item and account for credit balances. |
| Accounts Receivable | Your A/R account. |
| Trust Liabilities Account | Your trust liabilities account. |
| Operating Account | Your operating account. |
How does syncing work?
Once your firm is connected and your items/accounts are mapped, invoices and payments sync to QuickBooks Online automatically. You can watch the sync state on the Qbo Sync status columns, and step in with a manual sync for anything that is still pending.
Both the invoice list and the payments table show a Qbo Sync column (when your firm is connected) that will display a Sync Status indicator:
| Status Indicator | What it means |
| Green Check | Synced to QuickBooks Online successfully. |
| Exclamation icon (“Never Synced”) | Still pending — not yet synced, with no error. |
| Red error icon | A sync error occurred — hover to read the message returned by QuickBooks. |
| “—” (dash) | Not applicable (for example drafts, certain invoice types, or void payments). |
Manual syncing
Pending Invoice
- Open the invoice list (the Qbo Sync column appears when your firm is connected).
- On an eligible, still-pending invoice, choose the QBO Sync action.
- ADR Notable shows “Syncing invoice. Please wait…” and refreshes the list when done.
Pending payment
- Open an invoice's Details and view the payments table.
- For a pending (unsynced, non-void) payment, choose QBO Sync from the actions menu.
- The payment data reloads with its updated sync status.
What syncs?
- Invoices and invoice payments sync to QuickBooks Online.
- Mapping: ADR Notable billable categories, tax products, and accounts map to your QuickBooks items/accounts.
- Not covered here: there is no separate customer, contact, or inventory-item sync in this integration.
