Accounting link set up
QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, or Sage Intacct linked, with invoices posting as soon as they're approved.
The Problem
Your Inspectors Find the Work but the Invoices Stall Out
It shows up between the job and the books. Deficiencies get logged and invoices get approved, yet accounting still waits on exports and someone's evening.
01 · Lost deficiencies
Logged deficiencies sit without a quote for weeks.
A report lists every deficiency until it's quoted or declined.
02 · Slow billing
Approved invoices wait for someone to export them.
Approved invoices post to your accounting system within minutes.
03 · Duplicates
Customers and items duplicate in the accounting system.
Matching rules for customers and items are set before the first sync.
04 · Sales view
Sales can't see quotes or approvals in the CRM.
Quotes and approved work appear on the CRM account through the API.
Your inspector finds a failed sprinkler head and two corroded valves on a Tuesday visit and logs them as deficiencies. The quote goes out, the customer approves it in the Service Portal, and the repair is done Friday. Then the invoice sits until someone exports it, fixes the customer name, and keys it into Sage Intacct. Sales never sees the approval in Salesforce. By month end, billed work and booked revenue don't match.
We start with the chain from deficiency to cash: found, quoted, approved, completed, invoiced, and posted. Each step stays where ServiceTrade already handles it well, and we connect the handoffs. Approved invoices post to QuickBooks or Sage Intacct through the listed links, and CRM teams see quotes and approvals through the REST API. Revenue gets booked when the work is done, not when someone finds time to export.
Deficiencies tracked to quotes
Every logged deficiency stays visible until the customer has it quoted, approved, or declined.
Invoices posted on approval
Approved invoices reach QuickBooks or Sage Intacct within minutes, mapped to the right customer and project.
Sales sees approved work
Quotes and approvals show on Salesforce or HubSpot accounts, so reps follow up on real work.
Our ServiceTrade Integration Services Process
From Logged Deficiency to Posted Invoice in Five Clear Steps
You approve the matching rules and the deficiency-to-cash map before anything connects. Then you watch sample jobs and invoices reach accounting and your CRM before we hand over.
We follow one deficiency from the inspection to the posted invoice and note every export and retype. You get a map of your plan, your accounting system, and what ServiceTrade's API docs, often searched as Service Trade API documentation, allow.
What's Included
What You Get With a ServiceTrade Sage Intacct Integration or QuickBooks Link

Compare Options
DeveloperLook vs In-house developer vs Freelancer
An in-house developer knows your processes, and a freelancer may cost less for a single script. Here is where each one falls short on ServiceTrade billing links.

|---|---|---|---|
| Planning | Deficiency-to-cash map first | Often learned on the job | Starts from the code |
| Accounting link | Listed QuickBooks or Intacct link first | Sometimes rebuilt from scratch | Varies by experience |

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built websites and business software 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.

Work Culture
Why Commercial Contractors Trust Us With Their ServiceTrade Billing
Your invoices fund every crew and truck. These habits keep our ServiceTrade work from slowing billing or breaking ServiceTrade's rules for connected apps.
Delegated access only
We connect through ServiceTrade's delegated authorization, as its developer terms require. No staff member's password sits in our code, so staff turnover doesn't break a sync.
Short-lived data copies
ServiceTrade's terms cap cached content at 7 days, so our designs read fresh data instead of hoarding it. Reports stay current and within the rules.
Listed links checked first
If the QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, or NetSuite connector already does the job, we'll say so before quoting. You pay for REST API work only where a real gap exists.
Cutover at period start
We switch accounting links at the start of a billing period. Open invoices finish in one system while new ones post through the new flow.
Mapping you can audit
Every customer, item, and GL rule is written in a mapping sheet. Your controller can review it before an audit or change it later.
Fixed price after review
You get a fixed quote once the billing flow is mapped. Scope changes are priced before work starts, so integration costs stay predictable.

Good fit
Fire and life safety contractors
Your inspectors log deficiencies on every sprinkler and alarm visit, and the quotes, approvals, and invoices behind them need to reach accounting without retyping.
Mechanical contractors on Sage Intacct
Your finance team closes in Sage Intacct, and the ServiceTrade Sage Intacct integration has to map jobs to projects and invoices to the right entity.
Smaller shops on QuickBooks
You run QuickBooks Online or Desktop, and the sync keeps creating duplicate customers and items that someone cleans up by hand every week.
Sales teams in Salesforce or HubSpot
Your sales reps live in Salesforce or HubSpot, and they can't see which quotes ServiceTrade sent or which customers just approved work.
Developers building internal tools
You're building a dashboard or internal tool and need ServiceTrade API access for custom integrations without breaking ServiceTrade's developer terms.
Not a fit
Residential work on FieldEdge
Your company runs residential service calls on FieldEdge, not ServiceTrade. Our FieldEdge integration page covers its QuickBooks and pricebook work instead.
A smaller Service Fusion shop
You're a smaller trade shop on Service Fusion. Our Service Fusion integration page covers its plan-based QuickBooks, Zapier, and API links.
Budget under $850
You need one report changed and have under $850 to spend. ServiceTrade's onboarding and support team may handle it within your plan.
Your own field software
You want to replace ServiceTrade with field service software of your own. That's a custom software build, which we scope as a separate project.

ServiceTrade integrations from DeveloperLook start at $850 for a QuickBooks or Sage Intacct link set up, mapped, and checked on a billing cycle. CRM links and deficiency reporting start at $2,150, and custom API builds start at $4,450. ServiceTrade bills its own plan, and our fixed scope follows a free billing flow review.
A listed accounting link takes 2 to 3 weeks, since we check a full billing cycle before sign-off. CRM links and custom API builds take 4 to 8 weeks, depending on how many records move and which ERP sits on the other side. App registration with ServiceTrade, when required, can add time.
ServiceTrade, sometimes written Service Trade, is field service management software for commercial contractors. It serves mechanical, HVAC, fire protection, life safety, electrical, refrigeration, and kitchen exhaust companies with scheduling, dispatch, a technician app, quoting, invoicing, and a customer Service Portal. Add-ons cover parts, NFPA inspections, sales, and AI agents.
ServiceTrade, Inc. owns servicetrade.com: it's a Durham, North Carolina company founded in 2012 by Billy Marshall and Brian Smithwick. JMI Equity led an $85 million growth investment in December 2021. In June 2026, ServiceTrade acquired Mura, whose AI billing and collections tools became Stella Invoice and Stella Collect.
Test ServiceTrade with a demo first, then in the sandbox account its onboarding team sets up with your imported data. That sandbox is where your team runs real workflows before going live. We test integrations the same careful way, on sample jobs and invoices, before any live record moves.
Roles in ServiceTrade are sets of activities, or permissions, and its help article Role Activities and Descriptions explains each one. Often the faster fix is giving a user a second role: open My Account, then Users, choose the user, open Roles, and use Assign Role. Default roles include Account Tech + Invoice and Account Tech + Field Quoting.
Yes, ServiceTrade lists QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop, with Desktop connecting through the Web Connector. Invoices, customers, parts, and labor go from ServiceTrade to QuickBooks, and ServiceTrade says it isn't a full two-way sync. We set matching rules first, so customers and items don't duplicate.
It syncs companies, locations, contacts, jobs, and invoices from ServiceTrade, with each job mapped to a Sage Intacct project. Syncs run within minutes of a job closing or an invoice being approved, and customer and location changes flow back. We map entities, dimensions, and GL accounts before the first invoice posts.
Not a listed one: ServiceTrade's integrations page names no Salesforce or HubSpot connector. We build a ServiceTrade Salesforce integration or a HubSpot ServiceTrade integration on its REST API, so reps see quotes, approvals, and won work on the account. Data handling follows ServiceTrade's developer terms, including the 7-day caching limit.
You do. Integrations use ServiceTrade's delegated authorization with credentials your company controls, not a staff member's login. Code, mapping sheets, and runbooks are yours at launch, and plan support runs 30, 60, or 90 days. If ServiceTrade requires app registration, we complete it with you.
