QuickBooks

Export Harvest timesheets into QuickBooks 2006 – 2012 for Windows, or with Quickbooks Online via a third-party application. QuickBooks Mac is not supported, as it does not allow time imports.

The QuickBooks integration works for all Harvest plans (including trials) except the Free Forever plan.

2. Under the section 3rd Party Integration, click on Edit QuickBooks Settings.
3. To get your Company Create Time, you need to first open up your QuickBooks file.
4. In QuickBooks, go to File > Utilities > Export > Timer Lists.
5. Save the IIF file, and open it up with any text editor (such as Notepad for Windows or TextEdit for Mac).
