How do I split Stripe processing fees in QuickBooks Online?

In QuickBooks Online, Stripe deposits the net amount into your bank, but your invoices reflect the gross amount. To reconcile without errors, create a Split Deposit with Line 1 as Gross Sales (Sales Revenue), Line 2 as Stripe Processing Fees (negative Expense), resulting in a net total matching the bank feed cleared deposit to the exact penny.

What is the Stripe Clearing Account method and why do bookkeepers recommend it?

The Stripe Clearing Account method is the industry-standard workflow recommended on r/Bookkeeping. Instead of matching hundreds of individual transactions in the bank feed, bookkeepers post gross sales, fees, and refunds to a Stripe Clearing bank account, and record payouts as simple transfers from the clearing account to the operating checking account.

How does the Beginning & Ending Balance Checksum prevent reconciliation errors?

QuickFinSync extracts Beginning Balance and Ending Balance from your bank statement header. It applies the mathematical formula (Beginning Balance + Inflows - Outflows = Calculated Ending Balance). If a bank line item or service charge is missing, QuickFinSync flags the exact variance before you import into QuickBooks.

What is a .QBO file and why is it better than CSV for QuickBooks?

A .QBO (QuickBooks Web Connect / OFX) file is an Intuit-standard financial exchange format. When imported into QuickBooks Online or Desktop, it automatically populates the Bank Feed without asking the user to manually map date, description, and amount columns.

Are my clients financial records and bank statements stored on your servers?

Solo conversions operate on 100% in-browser memory with zero server storage. For Bookkeeper Hub client links, files are staged in an encrypted cloud relay (TLS 1.3 / AES-256) and automatically purged after 7 days.

Does QuickFinSync work with Shopify Payments and PayPal Activity CSVs?

Yes. QuickFinSync features dedicated reconciliation engines for Shopify Payments and PayPal Activity downloads, automatically splitting processing fees, refunds, and generating balanced General Ledger journal entries.
