“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
QuickBooks doesn’t offer built-in automated email distribution for P&L reports, forcing you to manually export and send reports each time you need to share them with stakeholders.
Here’s how to set up a completely automated system that delivers fresh P&L data to your inbox daily without any manual work.
Set up automated P&L delivery using Coefficient
Coefficient connects your QuickBooks data directly to QuickBooks spreadsheets with automated refresh scheduling. This means your P&L data stays current, and you can use your spreadsheet’s native email features to automatically distribute updated reports.
How to make it work
Step 1. Connect QuickBooks to your spreadsheet and import your P&L report.
Use Coefficient’s “From QuickBooks Report” method to pull your Profit and Loss statement directly into Google Sheets or Excel. This creates a live connection that can refresh automatically without manual exports.
Step 2. Configure automated refresh scheduling.
Set up daily, weekly, or hourly refresh schedules in Coefficient to ensure your P&L data updates automatically. Choose the frequency that matches your reporting needs and data update schedule.
Step 3. Set up automated email distribution.
Use Google Sheets’ built-in email scheduling features or Excel’s sharing capabilities to automatically send the updated P&L report to your recipient list. The report will always contain fresh data thanks to the automated refresh.
Step 4. Customize your report format.
Add charts, conditional formatting, and custom calculations that QuickBooks reports can’t provide. Create professional-looking reports with visual indicators for key metrics like gross margin trends or expense variances.
