Syncing Finances: Prima.Law and QuickBooks Online

Introduction

Manual data entry in accounting leads to errors and missed reconciliations. By connecting Prima.Law with QuickBooks Online via Zapier, you ensure that every financial transaction in your case management system is reflected in your accounting software in real-time.

Common Workflows

• Automatic Invoice Creation: When a new invoice is generated in Prima.Law, Zapier can create a matching invoice in QuickBooks.
• Payment Synchronization: As soon as a payment is recorded in Prima.Law, the corresponding "Receive Payment" entry is created in QuickBooks to close the invoice.
• Client Sync: Automatically create a new "Customer" in QuickBooks whenever a new Client or Case is opened in Prima.Law.

Key Steps to Configure

1. Trigger: Select "New Invoice" or "New Payment" in the Prima.Law Zapier app.
2. Action: Select QuickBooks Online and choose "Create Invoice" or "Create Sales Receipt."
3. Mapping: Map the client’s name, the amount, and the service description to the QuickBooks fields.
4. Important Note: Ensure that your "Service Items" in QuickBooks match the descriptions used in Prima.Law for seamless categorization.

Managing a legal calendar requires precision. Integrating scheduling tools like Calendly or Google Calendar with Prima.Law ensures that every consultation is logged and every deadline is tracked within the client's file.
