QuickBooks Is Accounting Software

STOP MANAGING
JOBS AS INVOICES.

QuickBooks is great at accounting. It’s terrible at running a print shop. You need both — and Kontrol™ syncs with QuickBooks so you don’t lose the accounting.

Two-way sync

Import Your Data

Export customers and invoices from QuickBooks as CSV. Upload to Kontrol™’s migration wizard.

Connect QB Sync

Link your QuickBooks account. Invoices, payments, and customers sync automatically both ways.

Run Your Shop

Jobs, production, art approval, and scheduling in Kontrol™. Accounting stays in QuickBooks. Done.

QuickBooks Is Excellent —
At Accounting.

We’re not here to replace your books. QuickBooks does accounting better than anyone. But accounting software shouldn’t be your job tracker, production queue, and customer portal.

Let QB handle money

Invoicing, payroll, tax prep, bank feeds, and P&L reports — that’s what QuickBooks was built for.

Let Kontrol™ handle production

Job pipeline, art approval, scheduling, floor display, delivery tracking — that’s what we were built for.

WHAT ACTUALLY MIGRATES.

We believe in transparency. Here's exactly what transfers from QuickBooksto Kontrol™ and what needs manual setup. No surprises.

Migrates automatically

Customer recordsFull customer list with company, contact, email, phone, address
Invoice historyInvoice records with line items, amounts, dates, payment status
Product/service listItems and services with pricing
Chart of accountsKontrol™ syncs back to QB — your accounting stays in QuickBooks

Requires manual setup

Payroll dataKeep payroll in QuickBooks — Kontrol™ doesn't replace your accounting
Tax filings and reportsTax data stays in QuickBooks where it belongs
Bank reconciliation historyContinue using QuickBooks for banking and reconciliation
Custom QB reports and dashboardsKontrol™ has its own analytics — different data, different insights
QB app integrationsKontrol™ has its own integration ecosystem (Stripe, Google Drive, etc.)

This isn't about replacing QuickBooks. It's about stopping the misuse of accounting software as shop management. Import your customer and job data into Kontrol™, then connect QuickBooks sync so financials flow back automatically.

Migration imports are best-effort based on the data QuickBooksmakes available via CSV or data export. Actual results depend on the completeness and format of your exported data. We recommend running a dry-run import first and verifying all records before going live. Art files, design assets, and platform-specific configurations are not transferable between systems and will need to be re-uploaded or re-configured in Kontrol™.
