Connect the correct company
Confirm which QuickBooks Online company belongs to the store and who can authorize access. For a multi-store business, discuss the location structure before connecting. Keep the account owner and the person who reviews the books involved in the same setup conversation.
Review the account mappings
Work through sales, taxes and tender accounts with your bookkeeper. Compare a sample daily journal with the corresponding Retail report before relying on it for routine reconciliation. Agree how refunds and other adjustments should be represented in your accounting review.
Follow the sync history
Make connection history part of the daily review, especially when a journal is missing or looks different from the source. Investigate an existing attempt before requesting another export. The accounting handoff supports bookkeeping; tax filing and accounting decisions remain part of your separate accounting process.
