Q

How It Works

Get your QuickBooks AI Receptionist up and running in minutes.

1

Log into the Client Portal and assign QuickBooks to any agents that need it.

2

Configure the integration settings and integration prompt in the FONE app.

3

Your AI starts answering billing questions on chat and WhatsApp with live QuickBooks data.

Key Features

Everything your AI needs to handle QuickBooks inquiries like a pro.

Customer Lookup

Your AI searches QuickBooks customers by name, phone, or email and reads their profile — open invoices, account balance, payment terms, and billing address.

Invoice Status

A customer asking about an invoice gets a read — invoice number, amount, due date, payment status, and any applied credits or partial payments.

Balance Inquiry

A client asking about their balance gets real-time totals from QuickBooks — outstanding invoices, overdue amounts, credits, and last payment received.

Read-Only by Design

The QuickBooks integration reads your books; it cannot create invoices, take payments, or modify financial records. Discrepancies from a conversation are handed to your team.

AI Receptionist for QuickBooks Example Prompts

Copy and paste these prompts into your QuickBooks AI Receptionist prompt box to get started quickly.

Example 1 — Invoice Status:
"When a customer calls asking about an invoice, look it up in QuickBooks by their name or invoice number. Let them know the amount, due date, and current status — whether it is paid, overdue, or pending. If overdue, offer to help them make a payment."

Example 2 — Payment Confirmation:
"If a customer says they sent a payment, check QuickBooks to see if it has been recorded. If the payment shows up, confirm the amount and date received. If not, let them know it may take 1-2 business days to process and suggest they send a payment receipt for faster resolution."

Example 3 — Account Balance:
"When a customer asks about their account balance, look up their customer record in QuickBooks. Provide their current outstanding balance and list any open invoices with amounts and due dates."

See It in Action

Here's how your AI Receptionist for QuickBooks handles a real conversation.

Caller

Hi, I'm asking about an invoice I received — I think there's an error on it.

AI Agent

I can pull that up. What's your company name or the invoice number?

Caller

It's invoice 1087 for Greenfield Partners.

AI Agent

I found invoice #1087 for Greenfield Partners — $4,200 dated March 1st for consulting services, currently unpaid with a due date of March 31st. What looks incorrect?

Caller

The amount should be $3,800 — we agreed on the lower rate.

AI Agent

Thanks — I'll flag the discrepancy for your account manager, Ryan, to review and issue a corrected invoice, and pass along your number for the follow-up. Anything else?

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work with QuickBooks Desktop?
Currently the integration supports QuickBooks Online only. QuickBooks Desktop users can sync with QBO using Intuit's migration tools to access the integration.
Can it see my full chart of accounts?
Your AI reads customer-facing data — invoices, payments, customers, and estimates. Internal financial data like bank accounts and expense categories are not exposed.
Is my financial data secure?
The integration uses Intuit's OAuth 2.0 with read-only scopes. Your AI can look up data but cannot create invoices, process payments, or modify any financial records.
Can it look up QuickBooks estimates?
Yes — as a read. Your AI can look up estimates sent to customers and report their status (pending, accepted, converted to invoice). It does not create or edit them.
Does the lookup work on phone calls?
The QuickBooks lookup runs on text channels — web chat, Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. On a phone call your AI still books, transfers, and takes messages; the live QuickBooks query is a chat-surface capability.

Built for Practice Management & Accountants

Your AI receptionist works your client list — surfacing status, chasing documents, and logging every call — so your team stays on the work.

For your firm

  • Stay on deadline work. Routine "where's my return?" and "what do you need from me?" calls are answered automatically, so staff aren't pulled off prep during the busy season.
  • Nothing falls through. Every inbound call is logged to the client record — caller, topic, and follow-up — so the whole team has a complete history.
  • Coverage that scales. After-hours and overflow calls are handled 24/7 without adding front-desk headcount as your book grows.

For your clients

  • Real answers. Clients hear their actual return, project, or document status instead of waiting on hold or for a callback.
  • Always reachable. Questions get answered evenings and weekends, not just during office hours.
  • Clear next steps. Clients are told exactly which documents or approvals are still outstanding and how to provide them.
