Two-Way Sync That Just Works
For tree care companies that rely on QuickBooks Online for accounting, payroll, and tax preparation, keeping field operations in sync with the books is a constant headache. ArborDash solves this with a deep, production-grade QuickBooks integration that uses the official OAuth 2.0 flow to securely connect your QuickBooks company. Once connected, data flows automatically in both directions so your accounting is always up to date without any manual entry.
When you create an invoice in ArborDash after completing a tree removal, pruning job, or plant health care treatment, that invoice is automatically synced to QuickBooks Online as a native QuickBooks invoice. Customer records are matched or created automatically, and line items map to your existing QuickBooks products and services. When your customer pays through QuickBooks Payments (credit card or ACH), the payment is synced back to ArborDash so your team can see the payment status in real time without ever opening QuickBooks.
The integration also covers time tracking for payroll. When your crew members clock in and out through ArborDash, their time entries are synced to QuickBooks as TimeActivity records, linked to the correct employee and customer. This means your payroll administrator can run payroll directly from QuickBooks without re-entering hours from paper timesheets or a separate time tracking app. For tree care companies with crews in the field every day, this alone saves hours of administrative work each week and eliminates the errors that come with manual time entry.
ArborDash handles all the complexity of the QuickBooks API behind the scenes, including automatic token refresh, retry logic for transient errors, and conflict resolution when records are updated on both sides. You get a clean sync status dashboard that shows you exactly what has been synced, what is pending, and whether any items need attention. Unlike generic field service tools that offer a shallow QuickBooks connection limited to one-way invoice push, ArborDash provides a true two-way integration that keeps your entire financial picture consistent across both systems.
