QuickBooks file prepared
Items, accounts, tax codes, and vendors set up so transfers post cleanly from the first day.
The Problem
Your Shop and Your Books Disagree
It shows up at month-end. Your shop reports say one number, QuickBooks says another, and someone spends a weekend finding out why.
Your bookkeeper opens QuickBooks on the first of the month and starts typing.
- Daily sales go in first, then card deposits and a stack of parts invoices.
- The totals don't match.
- A comeback was refunded at the counter but not in the books.
We start with how your books should look, then set up the bridge the vendor already sells: Accounting Link.
QuickBooks gets items, tax codes, and vendors that match your shop software, and we check real days of transfers. SocialCRM booking fills your schedule from the website. Month-end becomes a review, not a retyping job.
Posting mode chosen on purpose
Summary or subsidiary posting, picked with your accountant instead of left at a default.
Tax split by jurisdiction
State, county, and city tax codes mapped, so tax payable matches each filing you make.
Booking without phone tag
SocialCRM requests land at your counter, where an advisor accepts or declines each one.
Our Manager SE Integration Process
From Books Review to Clean Month-Ends
Your accountant signs off first. Then real shop days prove the mapping works before your team relies on it at month-end.

DeveloperLook vs Vendor Support vs a Bookkeeper
Vendor phone support covers its add-on, and a good bookkeeper can reconcile by hand. We fit when both systems need setup and checks together.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built reporting, booking, and records work for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

- Built with
- Accounting Link, report exports, Node.js
- Communication
- Calls in US, UK, and AU business hours
Your books close late. Your bookkeeper retypes daily totals and parts bills into QuickBooks, and they rarely match your reports.
Your counter runs well, but your website still says call to book. You want Manager SE online appointment requests on it.
Your fleet customers buy on account, so you want their invoices and payments under each customer in QuickBooks.
Your technicians recommend repairs that customers put off, and nobody follows up. You want them shown online with a booking link.
You keep books for several repair shops and want each one set up the same way, with a report that flags gaps.
Your shop runs Shopmonkey instead. Shopmonkey Website Integration Services connects bookings and QuickBooks through its open API.
You're moving to Tekmetric soon. Tekmetric Website Integration & API Solutions covers booking and lead tracking on that system.
You want live two-way sync with a custom app. Shops get no open API for that, so we won't promise it.
Your budget is under $500, or you only need QuickBooks set up. Your accountant and the vendor's phone line may cover that.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on cost, timing, QuickBooks posting, booking, portals, and what the vendor's tools already cover.
A Mitchell 1 QuickBooks integration with us starts at $500 for QuickBooks preparation, checked transfers, and booking links. A nightly reconciliation report with supplier mapping costs $1,400. A customer portal built from exports starts at $3,250. Accounting Link and SocialCRM are separate purchases from the vendor.
Plan on 2 weeks for QuickBooks preparation and checked transfers. Add 1 to 2 weeks for the nightly report, or 3 to 5 weeks for a customer portal. Most of the wait is for real shop days to compare, since only actual tickets show a wrong mapping.
They bridge it through SocialCRM, the vendor's marketing service, since shops get no open API for their management system. Book It Now shows real-time availability and syncs with your calendar. We place it on service pages next to your warranty and credentials, so visitors book instead of calling.
You pass them through SocialCRM, which connects to your software. With Book It Now, customers pick an open time that syncs to your calendar. With the older request feature, an alert arrives, and your advisor accepts or declines the request. Accepted ones trigger a text or email confirmation.
They sync it on a schedule, not live. The Followup reports export customer history, recommendations, and inspection data to a CSV file. A small script on your shop computer sends that file to the portal nightly. Customers then see past work and recommended repairs beside a booking link.
Parts ordering stays inside your shop software through catalogs such as PartsTech, which these shops can register for free. Accounting Link posts supplier invoices to QuickBooks under each vendor. Our custom piece is reconciliation: a nightly report that matches shop totals, supplier bills, and deposits and flags gaps.
Not in the way most shops hope. The vendor's API program covers ProDemand repair data and labor times for software companies, and it doesn't approve individual repair facilities. For your management system, the working paths are SocialCRM, Accounting Link, and report exports, and we build on those.
Yes, as long as nightly data is enough for your customers. We build the portal on your own hosting and fill it from exports, so it shows yesterday's history, not this morning's. For approving today's inspection, customers use the secure portal in the vendor's inspection tool.
It includes the pieces that connect Mitchell 1 automotive software to the web beyond booking. That means SocialCRM review requests and service reminders, click tracking in GA4, and pages that explain your warranty and credentials. Inspection reports your team sends can link back to your site as well.
We do for 30, 60, or 90 days, and the vendor's toll-free line covers its add-on itself. After your window, the month-end checklist and mapping notes let your bookkeeper handle routine changes. New tax rates or suppliers are the usual reasons shops call us back.
