Your accounting tool
and your other system.

Your accounting system is the most important piece of software in your business — and it almost never talks to the next piece in the way you need. Off-the-shelf syncs cover the easy cases and fail your edge cases. We build custom integrations against QuickBooks Online, Xero and MYOB AccountRight — the patterns transfer cleanly across all three.

The bottleneck

Your accounting tool isn't the problem. The gap is.

QuickBooks, Xero and MYOB are all good at what they're designed for. The problem isn't the accounting tool — it's everything that has to talk to it. Your e-commerce platform, your fulfilment tool, your CRM, your supplier portal, your bespoke industry software.

Off-the-shelf sync tools exist for the common pairs. They handle the happy path and fall over your edge cases — partial payments, refunds, multi-currency, deposits, retentions, custom fields, your specific account structure.

So a staff member fills the gap. Or you live with the wrong numbers. Or you pay a tool $300/month that solves 80% of your problem and ignores the 20% that actually hurts.

The solution

A bridge built for your exact gap.

We build a small integration tuned to the specific accounting-system + other-system pair you need. Reads from one, writes to the other, handles your edge cases as first-class scenarios rather than ignored ones.

Same architecture works against QuickBooks Online, Xero and MYOB AccountRight — different connectors, identical reliability patterns. OAuth refresh, idempotent writes, safe-to-re-run runs, visible dashboard.

Lives on a small server we host, or on a PC in your office. No per-record fees, no SaaS subscription that grows with your invoice volume.

Accounting tools we ship against

Same patterns, different APIs.

Live · QBO API

QuickBooks Online

Production-scale: ~50 invoice writes per hour against Raw Blend's QBO file across six storefronts. OAuth 2 refresh-token flow, sparse updates, the PrivateNote-not-queryable gotcha handled via in-memory index. Zero sync conflicts to date.

Capable · Xero API

Xero

Xero's API is the cleanest of the three — OAuth 2, well-documented endpoints, fewer gotchas. We use the same idempotent-write and watermark patterns we ship against QBO.

Capable · MYOB AccountRight

MYOB AccountRight

MYOB's API is more particular than the others (company-file pinning, longer OAuth dance, fewer write endpoints). Same architecture works once the auth layer is in place.

Production-grade patterns

How the bridge actually survives in the wild.

OAuth done once. All three accounting tools use OAuth 2 with refresh tokens. We ship a one-shot bootstrap that pops a browser, runs the consent flow, captures the code, and writes encrypted tokens to disk. Every subsequent run reads from disk and rotates the refresh token automatically. Production runs have gone eleven months between manual interventions.

Idempotent writes. Every entity carries a sync token (QBO), an ETag (Xero) or a row version (MYOB). Done badly, this causes race conditions and lost writes. Done properly, every automation can be re-run safely — recovery is "run it again," not "repair half-applied state."

Real-world gotchas, already paid for. Like the QBO PrivateNote field — projectable but not queryable — that breaks the naive integration approach and demands an in-memory index. These are the kinds of things you only learn at production scale. We've paid those discovery costs.

What we ship

Specific integrations we build.

Sync

Fulfilment → accounting

Tracking numbers, ship dates, fulfilment status from ShipStation, Starshipit, etc. onto the matching invoice.

Sync

E-commerce → accounting

When your existing Shopify/WooCommerce sync tool falls over partial payments, refunds, or multi-currency, a direct custom sync handles your edge cases.

Bulk ops

Batch purchase orders / invoices

Tag, set ship date, fetch PDFs, email the warehouse — for hundreds of invoices, scriptable, repeatable, idempotent.

Cost

Supplier price list → PurchaseCost

Diff against current PurchaseCost, write only changes via sparse update. Same pattern across QBO, Xero, MYOB.

Reporting

Custom data extracts

Once the auth and querying infrastructure exist, building targeted reports is days, not weeks.

Migration

Switching between accounting tools

Xero to QBO, MYOB to Xero, on-prem MYOB to AccountRight cloud — scripted migration end-to-end with reconciliation reports.

How we price

Priced on your saving, not our effort.

Every build is quoted at one-fifth of what it saves your team in man-hours per year. The other four-fifths stay with your business, every year, after the build.

Most builds in this tier land between $2,500 and $25,000, depending on the size of the saving — a small single-task processor sits at the lower end, a multi-system platform at the upper.

Local

Lives on your computer

Desktop app or local automation that runs on a PC you already own. One-off payment.

Hosted

Lives on our infrastructure

We host, run and maintain the build. Monthly subscription, sized so cost lands as the saving lands.

Discovery is free. We spend 30 minutes mapping the saving on a call and quote a specific number inside 48 hours.

Frequently asked

Questions worth getting out of the way.

Who owns the build after we ship it?

+
You do. Source code, deployment guide, and a runbook — all yours. There's no per-seat licence to keep paying and no vendor lock-in. If you decide to maintain it in-house later, you can. We're happy to stay on as a retainer; we don't make you.

How do you work out the saving?

+
On the discovery call we ask what your team does today — name the task, the frequency, the hours, the wage rate. The estimate is conservative. If the maths doesn't land somewhere we both think is worth it, we'll tell you on the call rather than sell you a build.

How long does it take from scope to live?

+
Most builds run one to three weeks from confirmed scope to production. We work in working prototypes — you'll see something running by the end of week one, refine through week two, hand over and go to production around week three.

What if our stack is unusual?

+
Most are. The framework we ship against is the same; the connectors differ. We've shipped against Shopify, ServiceM8, QuickBooks Online, MYOB, Xero, ShipStation, custom supplier portals, Google Sheets and Excel-by-email. If your system has an API or a file export, it's in scope.

What if we want to extend it later?

+
Easy and cheap. The platform pattern means a second or third automation slots in for hours of work, not weeks. After the first build the marginal cost drops sharply — most clients return for a second within a few months.

Which accounting tools do you support?

+
QuickBooks Online (deepest production experience), Xero, and MYOB AccountRight. Anything with a documented API or open data export is workable. If you're on QuickBooks Desktop (the old Windows product), the integration patterns are different — talk to us about whether your version is API-accessible.

Will the integration survive an accounting-system upgrade?

+
Yes — integrations are versioned to the API release. Intuit, Xero and MYOB all maintain backward-compatible APIs and announce breaking changes well in advance. We monitor those and patch when needed (covered under retainer; one-off otherwise).

What about custom fields, custom accounts, custom workflows?

+
Those are usually the reason a custom integration is needed in the first place — they're what off-the-shelf tools refuse to handle. We map them as first-class concepts in the bridge, not as awkward workarounds.
