This month’s updates are all about giving you greater control, clearer visibility, and stronger alignment with your internal workflows.

From customizable sync preferences to better control over payment method names, here’s what’s new and how it helps you serve your customers more effectively.

  • Optionally, add labels to organize and display key details across the platform.

💡 Why It’s Helpful?

✅ Easily identify multiple payment methods at a glance
✅ Reduce confusion for customers during checkout
✅ Make internal billing workflows simpler


🧾 Tax Line Item Sync Control

Control how taxes appear in your QuickBooks invoices. You now have a setting to choose whether taxes sync as separate line items or as part of the total.

💡 Why It’s Helpful?

⏱️ Time Entry Sync Settings

When syncing invoices from ConnectWise to QuickBooks, you can now choose how time entries are represented, summarized or detailed.

✨ What’s New?

  • Two new sync options for time entries:

    • Sync time entries grouped as GL entries: One summary per task or project

    • Sync each time entry as an individual line-item: Track and report each time log separately

  • Ensures consistency between CW and QBO chart of accounts

  • Works with existing invoice and item syncs
