QuickBooks Interface

Accounts Receivable Management Tool

MemberLeap's accrual-based (not cash-based) billing system works on invoice and payment transactions similar to QuickBooks and other account software. Invoices are created to indicate what a member owes for dues or other items. Payments applied to these invoices are used to indicate that payment has been made for such items. There are also invoice and payment transactions within the event registration and store modules.

MemberLeap includes features to integrate with online payment gateways to allow members and event registrants to pay online. The resultant payment transactions are recorded automatically. The system also includes features to send reminder invoice notifications to members and registrants, in case they have not paid for dues or fees. These and other features make the system a powerful tool to automate collections.

With the member billing system included in MemberLeap, we provide an interface with QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop for PC (last three year's versions).

Initial Setup Costs

Due to the complexity of setting up the initial general ledger account codes and classes to mimic what you already have in your Quick Books account, there is an initial setup cost of $900. 

Monthly Synchronization and Customer Support Fee

There is a $40 monthly customer support fee, which is included in the Platinum MemberLeap Plan; otherwise, it needs to be added to the Silver and Gold Plans.

Single Entry

The assumption for using the QuickBooks interface is that you would use MemberLeap as the primary point of entry for all transaction. As members join and renew and pay online, these transactions are created in the system. Similarly if people register for an event or make a purchase from the store, invoices and payments are created in the system. If members pay by check, you would manually record the payment in the system. By using the QB interface, you would then create parallel transactions (of equal amounts and dates) in QB. This allows all entry to be done in the system, but still be able to use QB for reporting and accounting purposes.

Our QuickBooks Interface works like this:

  • Create Items in QuickBooks.
  • Assign those Items to General Ledger Accounts (GLA) in MemberLeap.
  • Create Classes in QuickBooks.
  • Assign those Classes to Classes in MemberLeap.
  • Assign GLA to various items in MemberLeap that go on invoices (e.g., dues, event registrations, online store items).
  • Export transactions from MemberLeap to QuickBooks - this can be done either as a combination of Invoices and Payments or as Sales Receipts (if you do not want to record unpaid invoices in QuickBooks).
  • Customer records in QuickBooks correspond to Member and/or Event Contact records on MemberLeap.
  • Transactions are processed through MemberLeap and are then exported to QuickBooks with a simple click of a button; we cannot import transactions from QuickBooks.
  • Once a transaction has been exported to QuickBooks, any changes you make to it in one system will have be done manually in both systems (example, if someone attending an event switches to a different priced package after their invoice has been exported to QuickBooks, you may have to manually update it in QuickBooks, depending on how you process the change.)

Keeping in Sync

You can sync your payments for new member registration fees, dues renewals, event registration fees, donations, and store transactions to your QuickBooks as often as you would like.
