QuickBooks

Connects Karani’s gift records with QuickBooks so your fundraising data and your accounting agree.

Connecting

From Integrations, click Connect QuickBooks. You’ll be redirected to QuickBooks to authorise, and returned to Karani.

What syncs

Gift data moves between Karani and QuickBooks so you aren’t entering the same donation twice.

Reconciling

Karani and QuickBooks will not always show identical totals, and the reasons are systematic rather than errors:

• Dates. Karani records the gift date; QuickBooks may record when funds were deposited or processed.
• Fees. Karani records the gross gift; your accounting may record the net.
• Soft credits and display-only gifts. Karani has both concepts — see Gift types — and your accounting won’t.

Reconcile once, thoroughly

Pick a month, export from both systems, and account for every difference. Once you know the structural reasons they differ, you can stop re-checking every month. The Gifts Report is the Karani side.

Disconnecting

Disconnect on the integration card stops the sync. Records already in either system stay.

Alternatives

If your organisation uses a different accounting system, see Aplos, or export from the Gifts Report and import into whatever you use.
