Does Roofr integrate with QuickBooks or only export to it?
Roofr connects to QuickBooks Online, in one direction, on the top plan, in the US, with exports you trigger by hand. Here is exactly what that means for a roofing office's books.
Export only. As of September 2026 Roofr connects to QuickBooks Online through manual, one-way exports from Roofr, on an eligible US account and the top plan. Nothing travels back: not payments, not a bookkeeper's correction, not a customer edit. Roofr says so plainly in its own help centre rather than leaving you to discover it.
That candour is worth something. It also means you should plan around it.
What does the connection do?
It pushes finalised documents from Roofr into QuickBooks Online. You build an invoice in Roofr and export it across, so your accounting file ends up holding the record without anyone retyping it.
Setup is an in-app OAuth connection, which means you authorise it from inside Roofr rather than handling keys. You need Manager or Owner permissions in Roofr to do it.
What does it not do?
Anything in the other direction.
Roofr's help centre answers the question without hedging. Asked whether the QuickBooks sync is two-way, it says not yet, and that currently the integration is a one-way sync from Roofr to QuickBooks.
Read against a real office, that means a payment recorded in QuickBooks is invisible in Roofr. A correction made by your bookkeeper does not travel back. A customer record cleaned up in the accounting file stays clean only there. Whoever needs the current picture has to open both.
Three more limits, all from Roofr's own documentation as checked in July 2026:
- Exports are manual. Somebody presses the button on each invoice. Roofr states that automated exports will be available in a future update.
- QuickBooks Projects are not supported. If you use Projects for job-level tracking, this connection does not know about them.
- One QuickBooks company per Roofr account, and QuickBooks Online must be a US account.
The integration also still carries a BETA label and sits on the top plan. Both of those were true at the last check and both are the kind of thing that changes without an announcement, so verify against the live help centre before you commit.
Is one-way a problem?
Sometimes not, and it is worth being fair about that.
If your process is genuinely linear, invoice goes out from Roofr, money gets recorded in QuickBooks, nobody in the field ever needs to know the payment status, then a one-way push is sufficient and adding complexity would be waste.
It becomes a problem the moment somebody who works in Roofr needs an answer that lives in QuickBooks. Has this customer paid. Was the invoice corrected. Did the deposit land. In a one-way setup those questions get answered by a phone call to the office, every time, forever.
That is the cost, and it is a labour cost rather than a software one. It does not appear on any invoice, so it rarely gets counted.
How does this compare to the rest of the category?
Better than the marketing across the category would suggest, because Roofr documents its limit and several competitors do not.
| Platform | QuickBooks Online | Desktop | The documented reality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roofr | Yes, BETA, top plan | No | One way, manual exports, Projects unsupported |
| AccuLynx | Yes | Yes | Marketed two-way; users report largely one-directional |
| JobNimbus | Yes | Yes | Genuine two-way mode, with documented asymmetries |
| ServiceTitan | Yes | Export | By default, customer and service location do not update in QuickBooks after the first export |
| Hover | No | No | No accounting connection at all |
Every row in that table came from the vendor's own documentation or, in AccuLynx's case, from its marketing set against what its users report. We built the full version of this comparison in which roofing software actually two-way syncs with QuickBooks, and took apart what "two-way" even means in two-way sync: what it actually means.
What should you do about the gap?
Decide whether it is a gap you can live with, and be honest about the answer.
The question is not whether Roofr is good software. It is whether a one-way accounting connection matches how money actually moves through your company. For a lot of roofing businesses it does not, because payments arrive in stages, deposits get taken before work starts, supplements change the number mid-job, and financing deposits an amount that is not the invoice total.
Where that is true, the connection still leaves you with a person reconciling two systems. Closing it properly means something that reads both sides, matches records on something more reliable than a customer name, and tells you when it cannot. That is ordinary work against two documented APIs, and it is the kind of join that is specific to your books rather than to anyone's product roadmap.
The broader case for why these gaps keep appearing, no matter which platform you pick, is in why roofing software still needs manual data entry.
Frequently asked questions
Does Roofr integrate with QuickBooks?
Yes, with QuickBooks Online only. Roofr's own help centre still labels the integration BETA and gates it to the top plan. QuickBooks Desktop is not supported.
Is the Roofr QuickBooks sync two-way?
No. Roofr's help centre answers the question directly: not yet, and currently the integration is a one-way sync from Roofr to QuickBooks. Nothing travels back from QuickBooks into Roofr.
Are Roofr exports to QuickBooks automatic?
No. Exports are manual. Roofr's documentation states that automated exports will be available in a future update, so today somebody has to trigger each one from the invoice.
What are the requirements to connect Roofr to QuickBooks?
A QuickBooks Online account in the US, Manager or Owner permissions in Roofr to set it up, and one QuickBooks company per Roofr account. QuickBooks Projects are not supported.
Is Roofr's QuickBooks integration good enough to run a roofing business on?
That depends on whether your accounting workflow only ever moves in one direction. If payments get recorded in QuickBooks and somebody needs to see them in Roofr, this connection will not do it, and that gap has to be covered by a person.
Which roofing platforms actually sync both ways with QuickBooks?
Fewer than the marketing suggests. AccuLynx markets a two-way integration and users describe it running largely one-directionally. JobNimbus offers a genuine two-way mode with documented asymmetries. ServiceTitan's default does not update customers in QuickBooks after the first export.
