“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.”
You can set up real-time QuickBooks financial reporting that updates automatically in Google Sheets. This eliminates manual report generation and provides continuous access to current financial data for immediate decision-making.
Here’s how to create a comprehensive financial reporting system that refreshes automatically and combines multiple QuickBooks reports in a unified dashboard.
Create real-time financial reporting using Coefficient
Coefficient transforms QuickBooks’ static reporting into live financial data synchronization. Instead of manually generating individual reports, you get automated updates across all core financial statements with customizable refresh intervals.
How to make it work
Step 1. Connect all core QuickBooks reports using “From QuickBooks Report” method.
Import your Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss, Cash Flow, and A/R Aging reports as separate data sources. This gives you the foundation of standard financial reporting that QuickBooks already calculates, but with automated refresh capabilities.
Step 2. Supplement with granular data using “Objects & Fields” imports.
Add Account, Transaction, and Customer object data for detailed analysis beyond standard reports. This granular data lets you drill down into report components and create custom calculations that standard QuickBooks reports can’t provide.
Step 3. Configure automated refresh scheduling with hourly updates.
Set up hourly refresh intervals for true real-time monitoring of your financial position. This ensures stakeholders always see current data without waiting for manual report generation. You can adjust refresh frequency based on your business needs.
Step 4. Implement dynamic date-logic filters for automatic period capture.
Use filters that automatically adjust date ranges like “current month,” “quarter to date,” or “year to date.” This means your reports always show relevant periods without manual date updates for monthly or quarterly reporting cycles.
Step 5. Create a unified financial dashboard in a single workbook.
Organize different reports into separate tabs within one Google Sheets workbook. Create a summary dashboard tab that pulls key metrics from each report – current cash position, monthly revenue, outstanding receivables, and key ratios.
Step 6. Set up automated report delivery through Google Sheets sharing.
Use Google Sheets’ sharing and notification features to automatically distribute updated reports to stakeholders. Set up email notifications when data refreshes or create shared links that always show current information.
Step 7. Add custom calculations and financial ratios.
Build formulas to calculate financial ratios like current ratio, quick ratio, or gross margin that QuickBooks doesn’t calculate automatically. Use the live data to create trend analysis and period-over-period comparisons.
