Import client data from QuickBooks Online

If your clients use QuickBooks Online,
Workpapers CS enables you to import your client's account balances and the chart of accounts for processing in Workpapers CS
.
note
Intuit doesn't currently offer a way for
Workpapers CS to import account segments (classes) from QuickBooks Online
. Intuit may introduce this capability in a future release of QuickBooks Online.
If your firm runs
