Does anyone out there use the Quickbooks sync?  I tend to sync once a year for the tax man and that is it.  I am having some issues so curious if anyone can lend a hand before I try with support.

I have never used Quickbooks with Propertyware because honestly I didn't think I needed to. Are there parts of the accounting that is built into PWare that are missing to the point where one must have an outside program?

For us a couple things - the main thing is we used to use quickbooks before propertyware and it is what we would hand our tax guy at the end of the year.  The second is we actually started as investors before managers, so we own units as well.  It sure makes my life easier to have those books automatically kept up with an export from propertyware.

Unfortunately the export I just did mixed in a bunch of the wrong accounts in with mine, no idea why.

I own 46 of my own units that we also manage but I just treat my properties just like any other portfolio and print out reports end of year. I do agree once you get used to using something it doesn't feel right not using it. If you just used PWare you could print out the same income/expense reports that you pull from Quickbooks but of course this assumes all expenses are paid through PWare.

Perhaps it is more trouble than it is worth, I just like the warm fuzzy feeling of having a quickbooks file for just my portfolio, to be able to see a ledger, etc without all the other trust accounts mingled in.  I wonder what percentage of propertyware folks even use this feature anymore...  I certainly prefer quickbooks reports for speed and ability to configure, but Propertyware's are certainly better than before the new interface!

Yeah,
you can produce some pretty nice reports now in Propertyware and even for your own portfolio if you ever abandon QB altogether and just use Pware. I just pull the "Income Statement (standard or detail)" and filter for all accounts and pull the time frame for the whole year. Emailed that right over to my CPA and we were in business for my taxes last year.

I guess it is time to bring this issue to the forefront again. I'm a QuickBooks user. All my actual reports and financials I use in reporting taxes is strictly out of QuickBooks. I've been toying with Propertyware strictly for keeping track of rents as an introduction or test to using Propertyware for accounting. Importing and/or Exporting between Propertyware and QuickBooks would just seem to be double work if not very messy and riddled with complications. Obviously, anyone who has grown up on QuickBooks has developed a comfort level with the software.

First I agree with the previous user question which appears not to have gotten answered. How many folks are using Propertyware for their primary, shall we say, enterprise system leaving QuickBooks behind.

Second, what is the best way to prep and leave QuickBooks behind switching to Propertyware without it being an F-16 jet ride straight up into the heavens?

I'd appreciate everyone’s thoughts.

I'm really thinking of leaving QuickBooks behind if I can be confident enough that Propertyware can handle it and I will not have to go back to QuickBooks.

Dave

I was a long term Peachtree user and am running all rental/management activities through PW only. Though I don't love everything about it, it's far preferable to running dual systems. 

Regards,

Michael

I am trying to use the Quickbooks sync but keep getting an error message when installing Propertyware Sync.  As far as I can tell my Quickbooks is set to allow access to it so I cannot figure out what the problem is.

Hey Guys, 

Robert, what do you use for the companies operating accounting? 

We have struggled significantly with this as well and the tech support from PW on the accounting function is extremely limited. 

We are Quickbooks users and have been trying to work out a solution to use both and found it a bit of a mess syncing our PW file into our operating QB file. 
From everything I can tell from performing the sync, the PW accounts are not set up to be merged with the management companies operating account: A/P in PW are the management companies A/R. ie; management fees. PW support could not give me a straight answer on what you are supposed to do. 

This year we switched to 2 Quickbook files, one for PW and one for our companies operations. I found the PW sync works best with a new blank file as it needs to match an account in QB with PW. We sync all information and we do the trust account bank reconciliations in the PW file and track the companies details in the company file. 

We are still struggling with our external accountants to find the ideal solution that avoids double entry and streamlines everything.

Eve,

Have never run my company books in Pware.  Always used quickbooks as it would also handle my payroll stuff.  HOWEVER I can not reccomend highly enough Smart Business Consultants for PWare accounting issues.  They handle our reconciliations now and do a great job.  I am sure they have someone that can help.  BTW just found out they also have a Mail Merge and Lease Docs consultant that we plan on using to take advantage of the Docusign part of Pware...

I cannot even imagine the nightmare of using Quickbooks with Propertyware and hoping everything syncs correctly. We use PWARE for all accounting and I think it works great. You can run your company books out of PWARE just fine and we even run some ancillary businesses accounting out of there as well (our maintenance company and inspections company).
What are you having problems with specifically? I could show you how we have ours setup if that would help.
