QuickBooks Online Accountant (QBOA) and ProConnect do work together, but not in the way that they can both be connected to Karbon at the same time.
Here are the key points:
✅ QBOA and ProConnect can integrate within the Intuit ecosystem
Both QBOA and ProConnect sync data through the Intuit Accountant Cloud Server (ACS), which allows systems like Karbon to access and sync data from multiple Intuit products such as QBOA, ProConnect, Lacerte, and QuickBooks Time.
🚫 However, Karbon only supports one Intuit integration at a time
"Intuit integration is limited to either QuickBooks Online for Accountants or ProConnect. Since both QBOA and ProConnect are set to sync through the Accountant Cloud server, only one application is allowed to be connected to Karbon..."
This means:
A firm cannot simultaneously integrate both QBOA and ProConnect with Karbon.
You must choose one to link with Karbon at a time to avoid duplicate or conflicting contact creation.
🔁 What works within Intuit:
You can use QBOA and ProConnect together in your accounting firm via Intuit’s own platforms. Both QuickBooks and ProConnect need to be on the same Company ID (Intuit Realm) for data to sync between QBOA and ProConnect through the Intuit network.
For example, QBOA gives access to multiple client accounts and financial tools, while ProConnect is used for tax preparation. They're both part of the broader Intuit ecosystem designed to work together for accountants.
