Everything you need to know about syncing QuickBooks Online to Google Sheets with Retriever.
Retriever is a Google Sheets add-on that automatically syncs your QuickBooks Online reports into Google Sheets. You build a report once and refresh it with a single click, no more manual exports or copy-and-paste.
Retriever works with QuickBooks Online. You will need admin access to the QuickBooks company you want to connect.
Install Retriever from the Google Workspace Marketplace, open it from the Extensions menu in any Google Sheet, and connect your QuickBooks account. Our getting-started guide walks through every step.
Retriever supports Profit and Loss (and P&L Detail), Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, A/R and A/P Aging (summary and detail), General Ledger, Trial Balance, Budget vs. Actuals, Sales by Customer and Product, Transaction List, and many more.
