Frequently Asked Questions
Does Finlens replace QuickBooks for accrual accounting?
No. Finlens works on top of QuickBooks, not instead of it. Your clients stay on QBO exactly as they are today. Finlens adds an automation layer that generates GAAP-compliant accrual, prepaid, and amortization schedules and posts the resulting journal entries back to QuickBooks in real time. There is no migration, no new general ledger, and no disruption to your existing setup.
What types of accruals does Finlens automate in QuickBooks?
Finlens automates accrued expenses, prepaid expense amortization, deferred revenue schedules, and fixed asset amortization. The platform generates the corresponding journal entries automatically and syncs them to your clients' QuickBooks files, eliminating the need to maintain separate accrual spreadsheets for each client.
How does Finlens handle month-end close for accrual-heavy clients?
Finlens coordinates the full month-end close workflow alongside its accrual automation. Task management, team assignments, and deadline tracking are built in, so accrual schedules no longer create a bottleneck at close. Firms using Finlens report close times that are 40 to 70 percent faster than their previous manual process.
Can my team review accrual entries before they post to QuickBooks?
Yes. Every accrual entry generated by Finlens goes through a human-in-the-loop review step before posting to QuickBooks. Your accountants can approve, correct, or override any suggested entry with a single click. Nothing touches your clients' books without explicit sign-off from your team, ensuring you maintain full control and accuracy.
How long does it take to set up accrual automation for a new client?
Setup is fast because Finlens connects directly to your client's existing QuickBooks file with no migration required. The platform's automated chart of accounts and onboarding workflow get new clients configured quickly. Once connected, Finlens begins identifying and scheduling accruals based on existing transaction history and GL structure.
