How it works

How Tenadd connects QuickBooks Desktop

Your company file stays on your own computer or server. A small app next to it keeps the web in step, without opening your network to the internet.

1. Install

An administrator downloads Deskora from Preferences > QuickBooks in your company and installs it on the computer where QuickBooks runs: Next, Next, Install. No extra software is needed.

2. Pair

The same page gives a pairing code that works once, for 10 minutes. Type it into Deskora. The first time, QuickBooks asks to allow the app: choose "Yes, always".

3. Sync

Lists, documents and balances come in within minutes; then every change in QuickBooks reaches the web within about a minute, and reports refresh every ten minutes.

4. Work (and, if you want, write back)

By default the web only reads QuickBooks. When you are ready, choose Both ways in Preferences and allow writing in Deskora on the QuickBooks computer. Both keys are needed.

Questions IT people ask

Do we need to open a port or a VPN?

No. Deskora only makes outgoing HTTPS connections to your company online, like a browser does. Nothing listens on your network.

Can other people keep using QuickBooks?

Yes. Deskora opens the company file in multi-user mode, so users on the same server (also over Remote Desktop) keep working as before.

What can Deskora do in QuickBooks?

Only what it is allowed to: it runs QuickBooks queries, and adds or changes documents only when writing is switched on in both places. It never runs commands on the computer and never touches anything else.

Where does our data live?

The master copy stays in your QuickBooks company file. The web keeps a working copy for your users, separated from every other company.

What if the QuickBooks computer is switched off?

Your team keeps working on the web. Documents saved meanwhile wait and go to QuickBooks when the computer is back; the web shows the link status at all times.

Which QuickBooks versions work?

QuickBooks Desktop for Windows in a version Intuit still supports: today that is Desktop 2024 (Pro Plus, Premier Plus, Accountant) and Enterprise 24. Older versions no longer get security updates from Intuit, so we do not support them.

Ready to connect your company file?

It takes about ten minutes from sign-up to your first synced invoice.
