The problem it solves

Every new deal means retyping the same customer details into QuickBooks after they are already in a sales sheet. It is easy to make a typo or accidentally create the same customer twice.

Who it fits

A small business owner or bookkeeper who tracks sales in a spreadsheet before invoicing.

How it works

  1. A new row with customer and estimate details is added to the sheet
  2. QuickBooks is checked to see if that customer already exists
  3. If the customer is new, a customer record is created in QuickBooks
  4. A matching sales estimate is created and linked to that customer
  5. If the customer already exists, nothing is created, avoiding duplicates
What you get

Customers and estimates created without double entry

Add a customer to your spreadsheet and QuickBooks automatically creates the matching customer record and sales estimate for you.

What you get

A new customer record and linked sales estimate in QuickBooks, or no action if that customer already exists.

What you need

A Google account and a QuickBooks Online account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
