Users of Palo Alto Software’s online business planning and performance tracking tool, LivePlan,
can now import data from QuickBooks Online (QBO) to better track their
financials and measure goals using the LivePlan Scoreboard.
LivePlan helps small business owners easily develop budgets and
forecasts, create goals for their business, and then track their
progress on a dynamic dashboard. By integrating with QBO, LivePlan users
now have the ability to automatically bring their accounting data into
LivePlan so they can get an instant dashboard to track their business
growth. QBO is the most used cloud accounting solution for small
businesses, with more than 560,000 subscribers as of February 2014.
“QBO integration was one of the top requested features from our
LivePlan customers. Both LivePlan and QBO users will definitely benefit
from this integration,” said Sabrina Parsons, CEO of Palo Alto Software.
“We are excited to be working with a great tool like QBO and love being
part of the Intuit App Center, where QBO customers can find great
complimentary tools like LivePlan to help them run their businesses more
effectively.”
Accounting data alone is not sufficient enough to run a business.
Business owners must also track how those actuals numbers compare to
their budget and forecast and their historical results. LivePlan shows
these financial comparisons in one easy dashboard view without having to
ask their bookkeeper or accountant to run multiple reports. LivePlan
complements QBO, and allows a business owner to quickly keep tabs on
their financial key performance indicators (KPI’s), and easily
understand where their financials are strong, and where they may need to
make adjustments and change their assumptions.
“Creating a manageable plan, budget and forecast is crucial to
business growth and success,” said Parsons. “LivePlan, in combination
with QBO, will help small business owners sleep better at night, by
keeping them on track, helping them achieve their financial goals, and
quickly highlighting financial issues before they become a problem.”
LivePlan users are able to access their data, securely, at any time
or location with internet access. QBO offers business owners the
accurate accounting data they need to do this, but LivePlan helps them
easily use the information to stay on track, and make critical business
decisions. LivePlan is available for $19.95 a month or $139.95 annually.
