“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 automatically sync QuickBooks Online monthly expenses to Google Sheets without building custom API integrations or writing a single line of code.
Here’s how to set up automated expense syncing that updates your spreadsheet on schedule, plus why this approach beats manual API development.
Skip the API complexity with automated QuickBooks expense syncing
Coefficient eliminates the need for custom API development by providing a direct connection between QuickBooks Online and Google Sheets. Instead of managing OAuth tokens, rate limits, and complex authentication, you get a no-code solution that handles all the technical requirements behind the scenes.
The connection pulls monthly expenses directly from your QuickBooks reports and transaction lists, applying date filters and scheduling automatic updates. Your Google Sheets cells receive structured, formula-ready data without any manual intervention.
How to make it work
Step 1. Connect QuickBooks Online to Google Sheets.
Install Coefficient in Google Sheets and authorize the QuickBooks connection using your admin credentials. No API key configuration needed – Coefficient handles all authentication complexities automatically.
Step 2. Import monthly expense data.
Use Coefficient’s “From QuickBooks Report” method to pull Profit & Loss reports or Transaction Lists filtered by expense accounts. Apply dynamic date filters like “Current Month” or “Last Month” to automatically capture the right time period.
Step 3. Schedule automatic updates.
Set up hourly, daily, or weekly refresh schedules so your expense data updates automatically. The imported data maintains consistent cell references, so your formulas and calculations never break during updates.
Step 4. Build expense analysis formulas.
Reference the imported expense totals directly in Google Sheets formulas. Create month-over-month comparisons with =ThisMonth-LastMonth, calculate category percentages, or build automated expense tracking dashboards that update with each sync.
Start syncing your QuickBooks expenses automatically
Automated expense syncing saves weeks of development time while providing more reliable data updates than custom API solutions. Try Coefficient to connect your QuickBooks expenses to Google Sheets in minutes, not months.
