“LivePlan + QuickBooks = Awesome. Great product for developing your business plan. Perhaps its real worth, however, is in its ability to link with QuickBooks and give real-time financial data in easily understandable graphics and provide printed reports that can be shared with board members, financial professionals, loan officers, etc.”

Frequently Asked Questions

LivePlan syncs with your QuickBooks data in real-time and instantly updates your forecasted cash and profit totals, key financial metrics compared to industry benchmarks, and in-depth charts and graphs for presentations and analysis.

LivePlan stopped supporting the ability to connect and sync to QuickBooks Desktop on April 30, 2022. This decision came after careful review and consideration. We are constantly striving to provide a seamless and reliable experience for our accounting-connected users. Unfortunately, the QuickBooks Desktop connection from Intuit did not meet our expectations for a seamless and reliable experience, despite our efforts to improve it.

You can find LivePlan from the QuickBooks app store, or by signing into your QuickBooks Online account, navigating to the app section in the menu on the left, and searching for LivePlan.

From within LivePlan, connect your QuickBooks account to LivePlan with one click. LivePlan will pull in your accounting data for the current year and up to two past fiscal years. Once connected, use LivePlan’s Forecast Builder to create a new forecast based on your QuickBooks data or map your QuickBooks chart of accounts to your LivePlan forecast to then see your actual results and forecast side-by-side.

LivePlan protects your data using encryption, HTTPS and other technology. We use our own services just like our customers do and ensuring data security is a top priority for us. You can learn more here.
