Before you Begin

  • You must have Quickbooks (Desktop) Pro, Premier and Enterprise, 2009 and forward for Windows.
  • Quickbooks Desktop must be installed on a Windows computer.
  • You must be logged into your Quickbooks Desktop account as an administrator.
  • Quickbooks must be open to the Company that you wish to connect Neat to.
  • You must install the Neat Sync Manager onto the same computer that has Quickbooks Desktop installed on it.
Please Note: These steps are for Windows QuickBooks versions ONLY. However, once the connection has been made (using a Windows computer), Mac users can use their Neat software to map and export data to QuickBooks Desktop.
