Connecting to Quickbooks

Go to the Integrations Directory in Runway. Quickbooks is listed as a featured integration—click + Set up to begin.

Authorize the new schema name. We recommend keeping the default name as-is.

You’ll be directed to our integration partner, Fivetran, to connect your Quickbooks instance. Once redirected, sign in to your Intuit Quickbooks account.

Once that’s done, you’ll be redirected back to Fivetran. Select Save & Test.

You’ll then be redirected to Runway, the initial sync will begin, and a new database will be created.

Pulling data from Quickbooks

Basic Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement queries can be accessed via Runway’s Templates section in the left-hand sidebar.

Once your Quickbooks integration has been successfully connected, navigate to the Modeling section of the Templates page and select which statement you’d like to add to Runway. This will populate the query and configure a basic database, which you can output later if needed. It is worth noting that these templated queries are built for single-entity configurations only.

All done. You’re ready to start modeling! 👩‍💻
