How to Use Fundbox with QuickBooks?
Fundbox is a platform that offers financial services such as credit and payment solutions to small businesses. It uses cutting-edge technology such as big data analytics, engineering, and predictive modeling to help small businesses optimize their cash flow. For many small businesses, pending invoices become bottlenecks as the funds cannot be used for other strategic investments. This challenge can be overcome by using Fundbox with QuickBooks.
The Fundbox invoice financing tool is an instant and fully automated invoice clearing service with which business owners and freelancers can turn unpaid invoices in QuickBooks into cash in their bank account. In this article, we will explore how to use Fundbox with QuickBooks.
What Are the Advantages of Using Fundbox with QuickBooks Desktop?
Integrating Fundbox with QuickBooks makes short-term financing for small businesses easier. Here are some of the advantages of integration.
- It does not require a traditional loan application which makes loan disbursement faster as the one-click process can be initiated within the QuickBooks interface.
- Fundbox uses the fiscal data available in QuickBooks, rather than personal credit score, making it seamless for businesses to acquire short-term financing.
- With the ability to review the data being shared between the platforms ahead of time, businesses can focus on making decisions faster, allowing them to take better advantage of opportunities that would otherwise have been lost.
- By integrating the two platforms, businesses can take advantage of the Auto Bookkeeping feature that ensures that advances and repayment transactions are recorded automatically in QuickBooks so that they stay balanced while using Fundbox.
