Connect Ledgent to Xero or QuickBooks Online

Set up takes a few minutes. Here's exactly what Ledgent can see, what it writes back, and what always stays under your control.

QB

QuickBooks Online

  1. In Ledgent, go to Settings → Connected apps and select Connect QuickBooks Online.
  2. You'll be taken to Intuit's own sign-in page. Sign in with your QuickBooks Online credentials — Ledgent never sees your QuickBooks password.
  3. Review the permissions Intuit lists on that screen, then select Connect to authorise access.
  4. You're returned to Ledgent, and your company is shown as connected. Extracted invoices and receipts will start syncing automatically.
Xero

Xero

  1. In Ledgent, go to Settings → Connected apps and select Connect Xero.
  2. You'll be taken to Xero's own sign-in page. Sign in with your Xero credentials — Ledgent never sees your Xero password.
  3. Choose the Xero organisation to connect and review the permissions Xero lists, then select Allow access.
  4. You're returned to Ledgent, and your organisation is shown as connected. Extracted invoices and receipts will start syncing automatically.

What Ledgent can see and do

Reads

  • Chart of accounts, so extracted items can be categorised correctly
  • Contacts / suppliers, to match receipts and invoices to the right contact
  • Tax rates, to apply the correct VAT treatment
  • Existing bills and attachments, to avoid creating duplicates

Writes

  • New bills / expenses created from the receipts and invoices you capture
  • The original receipt or invoice image, attached to that bill for audit trail
  • New contacts, only when a supplier genuinely doesn't exist yet in your ledger

What stays under your control

Ledgent never initiates a payment, never moves money, and never changes your bank feeds or reconciliation. Every bill it creates sits exactly where a normal bill does, for you or your bookkeeper to review before anything is paid. You can disconnect at any time — see how to disconnect Ledgent.
