QuickBooks, Xero, FreeAgent, and external accounting

Perfexly can be extended with integrations, but accounting integrations should only be enabled after credentials, sync direction, and workflow testing are clear.

Current setup

  • Professional and Business currently use the built-in Accounting module and Account Balances tools.
  • QuickBooks exists in the module library but needs app credentials and careful sync testing before public use.
  • Xero and FreeAgent are not currently live public integrations in this setup.

Recommended approach

  • Use Perfexly as the daily CRM and customer-work workspace.
  • Export or connect data to external accounting tools only after you know what should sync.
  • Decide whether customers, invoices, payments, items, or expenses should be pushed to the accounting package.

Before enabling an integration

  • Test with a non-critical account.
  • Check duplicate handling.
  • Confirm currency, tax, customer, and item mapping.
  • Review who is responsible for fixing sync errors.

Good to know: Accounting integrations are powerful, but a bad sync can create more cleanup work than manual export.
