FAQ
QuickBooks-specific. No fluff.
Does Fairview require me to map my chart of accounts?
Yes. During setup, Fairview walks you through a 5-minute mapping step where you categorise your QuickBooks accounts as COGS, operating expenses, or exclude them. This mapping is required once — Fairview uses it for every margin calculation thereafter.
Does Fairview replace QuickBooks?
No. Fairview reads from QuickBooks — it does not replace your accounting system. QuickBooks remains your source of truth for bookkeeping, tax, and compliance. Fairview adds the operating intelligence layer on top.
Does Fairview support multi-currency QuickBooks accounts?
Multi-currency QuickBooks accounts require currency selection at setup. Fairview will convert all values to your base currency using the exchange rates stored in QuickBooks at the time of sync.
What if my expense categories are custom?
Custom expense categories can be manually tagged during the chart of accounts mapping step. Fairview includes a mapping wizard that lets you assign any QuickBooks account to a cost category recognised by the margin model.
Does Fairview write anything back to QuickBooks?
No. Fairview is read-only. It reads your P&L, COGS, and expense data to calculate contribution margin by channel. Nothing is ever written back to your QuickBooks account.
What QuickBooks plan do I need?
Any QuickBooks Online plan works. Fairview connects via Intuit OAuth and reads from your P&L and chart of accounts — available on all QuickBooks Online tiers including Simple Start.
