Accounting Software Integration

Accounting Software Integration

With Thread, you can easily integrate accounting software such as QuickBooks, Klyant, Quill, or Xero. Thread syncs data with your accounting software such as file details, contact details and bills (see more details below depending on accounting software used) so that they are in line with file information you have on Thread. 

Note: Before generating any billable items, or working on bills in Thread, ensure that you are signed into the Accounting Software application first. 

Note: Please note that Value Added Tax (VAT) amounts generated in Thread are not transferred to Accounting Software applications, VAT amounts are handled separately by these applications. Please see the relevant Accounting Software documentation for more information. 


Integrating With Accounts

To integrate with accounts, your accounting application must be toggled on in the Integrations tab of Thread.

Note: For Quill, Quickbooks, and Xero, you will also need to connect with the account in Personal Settings. Continue to 'Working With Integrated Accounts Daily' to read more.
