Are Your Sales and Accounting Teams Still Working in Silos? Here’s Why You Need QuickBooks and Dynamics 365 Integration
Disconnected systems waste time, create duplicate data, and lead to lost revenue opportunities. If your team is still manually switching between QuickBooks Online and Dynamics 365 CRM, you’re not just losing efficiency, you’re risking costly errors.
Wouldn’t it be easier if both systems could communicate with each other?
That’s exactly what InoLink does. This seamless integration connects QuickBooks Online with Dynamics 365, unifying your sales and accounting data. With a 360-degree view of customers and finances, your teams can collaborate better, eliminate manual work, and make faster, smarter decisions.
The Problem: Why Businesses Struggle Without QuickBooks + Dynamics 365 Integration?
Many businesses using Dynamics 365 CRM for sales and QuickBooks Online for accounting suffer from:
- Duplicate data entries leading to confusion and errors
- Lack of visibility into financial data for the sales team
- Manual synchronization between systems, wasting valuable time
- Disconnected teams making decisions based on incomplete information
- Tax calculation inconsistencies between systems
- No central view of customer aging, transaction history, or payments
Imagine a sales rep chasing a deal without realizing the customer has unpaid invoices—or manually entering the same product details in both systems, risking inconsistencies.
The Solution: How InoLink Seamlessly Integrates QuickBooks with Dynamics 365
InoLink is a cloud-based, bi-directional integration tool that connects QuickBooks Online with Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM in real time.

Two-Way Data Synchronization Between QuickBooks and Dynamics 365 CRM
- Bi-directional sync of Accounts, Contacts, Products, and Pricing
- Always maintain accurate and consistent records across QuickBooks and Dynamics 365 CRM
Smart linking of existing entries to eliminate duplicate records
Example: A B2B logistics company updates a client’s shipping address in Dynamics 365 CRM. With InoLink, that change is instantly reflected in QuickBooks Online, ensuring invoices are delivered correctly and preventing costly errors or delays.
Instant Promotion of Quotes, Orders, and Invoices
- Create quotes and invoices in Dynamics 365 CRM and push them directly to QuickBooks
- Eliminate repetitive data entry
- Speed up the quote-to-cash cycle
Example: A construction firm sends estimates through CRM. Once the deal is closed, the sales order is promoted to QuickBooks for billing in seconds, reducing delays.
Full Access to Accounting History and Transaction Records in CRM
- View payment status, aging details, and transaction logs within Dynamics 365
- Improve customer management with up-to-date financial data
- Eliminate back-and-forth emails with finance teams
Example: A subscription-based SaaS company checks a customer’s payment history directly in CRM before offering a renewal discount, ensuring they’re not behind on payments.
Automated Tax Calculation for CRM Transactions
- Calculate taxes for Quotes, Orders, and Invoices inside Dynamics 365
- Ensure consistency with accounting standards
- Avoid errors in manual calculations
Example: An eCommerce seller generates a multi-state invoice with varying tax rates. The CRM system applies the correct tax automatically before pushing it to QuickBooks.
Multi-Company QuickBooks Integration Within One CRM
- Connect multiple QuickBooks companies to a single Dynamics 365 instance
- Maintain centralized control of accounting across regions or brands
- Reduce setup and licensing complexity
Example: A franchise owner operating five locations syncs each branch’s QuickBooks account to one Dynamics 365 CRM. This ensures accurate financials while managing all customer interactions in one place.
Dynamic Accounting Dashboards in Dynamics 365 CRM
- Real-time dashboards for Recent Transactions, Top Customers, and Pending Invoices
- Visualize sales-to-cash flow instantly
- Make informed business decisions based on financial data in CRM
