## The Problem

Onboarding a new E-commerce Bookkeeping client means chasing prior-year returns, engagement letters, and a dozen document requests — and every delay pushes the first billable task further out.

## What We Build in QuickBooks Online

AI drafts the engagement letter, generates a tailored document-request list for the client's E-commerce Bookkeeping profile, chases missing items across email and QuickBooks Online, and hands the partner a ready-to-work file — first billable task starts in 3 days, not 3 weeks. Purpose-built for teams running QuickBooks Online — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## QuickBooks Online Integration Approach

1. **Audit your QuickBooks Online configuration.** We map the specific QuickBooks Online objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your e-commerce bookkeeping practice.
2. **Build on the QuickBooks Online API or agent.** Integration happens inside QuickBooks Online — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in QuickBooks Online with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
