Switch from QuickBooks
QuickBooks wasn't built for cannabis. CannaBooks Pro was.
Bring your QuickBooks Online books over in minutes. From then on, every expense is sorted into deductible COGS or nondeductible 280E as it's recorded, so tax season isn't a rebuild.
No credit card required
Cannabis businesses make QuickBooks work. That's the problem.
QuickBooks is solid general accounting software, but it has no idea what 280E is. So the work falls on you and your CPA:
- Tagging every expense by hand as deductible COGS or nondeductible under 280E
- Rebuilding cost of goods sold from spreadsheets at year end
- Explaining your COGS allocation to an auditor with no audit trail behind it
- Working around Intuit's payment products, which list marijuana as a restricted business type
Every hour your CPA spends rebuilding 280E costs you, and so does every deduction you miss.
Switch in an afternoon, not a quarter
- 1
Connect QuickBooks Online
Sign in through Intuit. The connection is read-only: CannaBooks Pro never writes to QuickBooks, so your QuickBooks file stays exactly as it is.
- 2
Your books come over
Your chart of accounts, expenses, bills and invoices are imported and posted as balanced journal entries.
- 3
280E sorting starts
Imported expenses are classified as deductible COGS or nondeductible. Anything unclear is flagged for your review instead of guessed.

Run both side by side
QuickBooks keeps syncing every hour, so you can compare the two until you're confident, then cancel QuickBooks.
Not on QuickBooks Online? Import accounts, transactions, vendors, customers and more from CSV or Excel.

Switching questions
Will connecting QuickBooks change anything in my QuickBooks file?
No. The connection is read-only. CannaBooks Pro reads your QuickBooks Online data and never writes back to it.
What comes over from QuickBooks Online?
Your chart of accounts, expenses, bills and invoices, posted as balanced journal entries. Manual journal entries and deposits don't come over automatically; you can bring those in from a CSV or Excel file.
Can I keep using QuickBooks while I switch?
Yes. QuickBooks keeps syncing every hour, so you can run both until you're confident and then cancel QuickBooks.
Which plans include the QuickBooks connection?
Every plan can connect QuickBooks Online during the free 30-day trial, and the books you import stay with you on any plan. Keeping QuickBooks syncing after the trial is part of Enterprise.
I'm not on QuickBooks Online. Can I still switch?
Yes. On any plan you can import accounts, transactions, vendors, customers, invoices, bills and employees from CSV or Excel files.
Does CannaBooks Pro replace my CPA?
No. It gives your CPA clean, 280E-ready books, so their time goes to tax strategy instead of rebuilding your COGS.
