What is the QuickBooks solutions provider program (QSP)?

As you probably already know, Intuit QuickBooks is the world’s leading small business technology platform. But it’s way more than just accounting software. QuickBooks gives you a single source of truth for tracking your income, expenses, human capital, taxes, and more. It’s also known for being really easy to use.

But what is this QSP all about?

In a nutshell, the QuickBooks Solutions Provider (QSP) program is a community of software solutions and service providers authorized to resell QuickBooks and help their customers get the most out of this amazing financial platform.

One of the requirements to be included in the QSP program is that your application has to integrate with QuickBooks. Check! Forecastr offers seamless data integration with QuickBooks; we’ll take a closer look at that now.

Forecastr’s QuickBooks online data integration

If you’re tired of manually moving your accounting data into your financial model every month, this one’s for you! Our seamless integration lets you view your Actuals alongside your Forecast without lifting a finger.

Early customer feedback confirms that this integration is a game-changer. It keeps your model current and grounded in reality, so you’re always prepared to raise capital, evaluate your performance, and compare alternate scenarios.

With our QuickBooks online integration enabled, you can:

• Save hours every month by skipping manual data entry
• Get real-time insights into the variance between your Forecast and Actuals
• Quickly create projections from your historical financial data

How does it work? We worked hard to create an intuitive process so you can set up the integration yourself. You simply click a button, configure the integration mappings, and you’re all set.

As with everything else at Forecastr, there’s always an analyst on standby to assist you with your mappings if you want a helping hand.

Expanding our community and educational resources

While we’re very proud of the integration, there’s more to this than just technology. 

If you know us, you know that we’re all about education. We love teaching our community about the power of financial modeling and helping you get the most possible value out of your financial data.

As a QSP provider, we’ll get to help even more people harness the potential of financial forecasting and data-driven decision-making. In addition, we’re looking forward to the opportunity to share our financial modeling expertise within the larger QuickBooks community through educational resources, webinars, and networking events. 

We’re looking forward to helping more of our community benefit from the QuickBooks platform. Intuit is passionate about delivering an excellent experience while solving their customers’ problems. Those are values we can get behind!

The value our combined communities will receive is going to be the biggest win that comes out of this new arrangement.
