# QuickBooks Online Integration

> Connect your accounting workflow while Owlery handles the mapping and controls.

Owlery connects to QuickBooks Online through the Intuit API. We can synchronize a supported Estimate workflow, map QuickBooks Items, create freight Purchase Orders from booked quotes, and support a specialized connected invoice workflow.

<Info>
  Owlery learns how your Customers, Items, Estimates, Vendors, accounts, and accessorials relate. We recommend the accounting mappings; your team confirms the intended result.

**Where to find it:** `Settings → Integrations`
