The Benefits
The integration of QuickBooks Online with iBroker, allows iBroker to leverage the gold-standard in business accounting software. Together, iBroker customers enjoy a powerful end-to-end solution for office administration and financial management.
The integration makes the transition to iBroker easy for those already using QuickBooks Online, as it allows Brokers to run the financial reports they are used to, while using data that has already been collected through iBroker. In QuickBooks Online, users will access familiar financial reports like Profit & Loss and Aging, and be able to calculate their profitability and balance books. In iBroker, users can generate a variety of valuable real estate reports to help inform business decisions, i.e. Agent Commission History, Agent Ranking, etc.
The integration also allows for a quick implementation period and a sigh of relief from Accountants who are already using QuickBooks Online and don’t have to learn a whole new system.

How to Set Up the Integration
It takes just 2 simple steps to set up the integration:
- Within iBroker, simply click ‘Connect to QuickBooks’. This logs the user into their QuickBooks Online account.
- Within QuickBooks Online, click 'Authorize' in order to complete the integration.
How it Works
Once the end user completes the integration set up process, iBroker will immediately create two Customers and one Payment Vendor ('Supplier' in Canadian version) in their QuickBooks Online account. The Customers represent the two revenue streams for brokers, namely Transactions and Agent Billing, while the Payment Vendor represents an expense for brokers (Payments to agents, referrals etc).
Here is a diagram depicting the basic flow of data between iBroker and QuickBooks Online:
The Chart of Accounts set up in QuickBooks Online will display in the applicable drop down lists within iBroker. The end user must then map their general ledger accounts to various items, such as transaction types and agent billing items, etc. Depending on how the end user has mapped the accounts, any financial related activity will post summary journal entries in QuickBooks Online within the relevant GL accounts to reflect the activity. The integration is set up to send data from iBroker to QuickBooks Online every 30 minutes.
Note: In the last container, each line represents 2 customers and the payment vendor mentioned above.
Using QuickBooks Desktop Pro?
QuickBooks Desktop Pro users can leverage the 'Journey Entry Export' Report to download transaction accounting information as an .IIF file, which can be uploaded into QuickBooks Desktop. This .IIF file contains batched journal entries created by iBroker.
