A Chartered Accountant validates every integration's financial logic. ◆ Connected Business Systems # Stop Exporting CSVs. Connect Your Systems to Accounting for Good. Custom API integrations that connect your ERP, CRM, eCommerce, payroll, and banking to your accounting platform. Not a Zapier workflow that moves data without understanding it — a purpose-built integration layer where a Chartered Accountant validates the financial logic at every connection point. **Your systems share data automatically, your books are always current, and your finance team stops being a data entry department.** 📌 100+ Integrations Built✅ 4 Platform Certifications📈 CA-Validated Financial Logic[Request a Free Consultation](/contact-us) ![Hub-and-spoke diagram showing how Satva connects ERP, CRM, eCommerce, payroll, banking, and BI tools to accounting platforms](https://satvasolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/financial-dashboard-analytics-business-performance-monitoring.webp)● Live8+ PlatformsConnected · Certified ## Trusted by growing businesses across the US, UK, and global markets [Don’t take our word, Hear from our clients](https://satvasolutions.com/work/testimonials) The Problem ## Your Business Runs on Disconnected Systems The average mid-market company uses three to seven core business systems. Each was purchased to solve a specific operational problem. Each one does its job well in isolation. But finance does not work in isolation. 01 ### Manual Data Handoffs A chain of error-prone transfers Someone downloads a report from the CRM every Friday. Someone else copies invoice data into QuickBooks. A third person reconciles the eCommerce payout against bank deposits in a spreadsheet. The payroll manager emails a summary that the bookkeeper re-keys into the accounting system. 02 ### Audit Risk at Every Step Snapshots in time, not live data Every CSV export is a snapshot in time. By the time your finance team imports it into accounting, the source system may have changed. An invoice was voided. A payment was applied. A return was processed. The data no longer matches — and nobody notices until the monthly reconciliation. 03 ### Measurable Problems Data lag, duplicates, and compliance gaps Data lag means financial reports reflect last week’s reality. Duplicate entries go unnoticed. Missing transactions understate revenue. Chart of accounts drift causes revenue to post to catch-all accounts. Tax treatment cannot be enforced consistently across thousands of transactions. 8%Finance leaders feel “very well prepared” for tech tools (AICPA, 2025)25KHours/year wasted by a 40-person team on automatable tasks (Gartner)100+Integrations built by Satva across 8+ accounting platforms10+Years building accounting system integrations ### Why Zapier and Make Do Not Solve This iPaaS platforms like Zapier, Make, and Workato are excellent at moving data between systems. They are not accounting tools. And that distinction matters. A Zapier workflow can push a new HubSpot deal into QuickBooks as an invoice. But it does not know which revenue account to post it to based on the product category. It does not calculate sales tax based on the customer’s nexus state. It does not handle multi-currency transactions where the deal was priced in GBP but needs to post in USD at the daily exchange rate. It does not reverse the invoice if the deal is marked as lost two days later. No-code automation tools treat accounting data like any other data — a payload to be moved from A to B. But accounting data has rules. Debits must equal credits. Revenue recognition must follow the correct timing. Tax must be calculated, not approximated. Chart of accounts mapping must respect account types, hierarchies, and reporting structures. When these rules are violated, you do not get an error message. You get financial statements that do not tie, reconciliation breaks that take hours to diagnose, and audit findings that undermine confidence in your numbers. What We Connect ## Every Business System, One Accounting Platform Satva integrates all major business system categories to your accounting platform. Each integration is custom-built with your specific chart of accounts, tax rules, and reconciliation requirements. 01 ### ERP to Accounting Procurement, inventory, operations Connect procurement, inventory, and operations data to your financial ledger. Purchase orders become bills. Goods receipts trigger inventory adjustments. Intercompany transactions post elimination entries automatically. **Platforms:** NetSuite, SAP Business One, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Acumatica, Sage Intacct, Sage 300 [NetSuite](/netsuite-integration) | [SAP](/sap-integration) | [Business Central](/business-central-integration) | [Acumatica](/acumatica-integration) | [Sage](/sage-integration) 02 ### CRM to Accounting Deals close, invoices appear When a deal closes in your CRM, the invoice should exist in accounting within minutes — not after someone re-keys it on Monday morning. Won deals become invoices. Contact records sync bidirectionally. Revenue forecasts reflect actual bookings. **Platforms:** HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho CRM, Pipedrive, Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM [HubSpot](/hubspot-integration) | [Salesforce](/salesforce-integration) | [Zoho CRM](/zoho-crm-integration) 03 ### eCommerce to Accounting Orders, refunds, payouts, tax Orders, refunds, payouts, and tax calculations flow directly into your accounting platform. Multi-channel sellers get consolidated revenue recognition across all storefronts. Payment processor deposits reconcile against individual transactions automatically. **Platforms:** Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, Wix [eCommerce Accounting](/ecommerce-accounting-integration) | [Shopify](/shopify-integration) 04 ### HRMS & Payroll to Accounting Complex journal entries, simplified Payroll runs generate complex journal entries — wages, employer taxes, benefits, superannuation, pension contributions. Each component posts to a different account. Each jurisdiction has different rules. Manual journal entries for payroll are one of the most common sources of accounting errors in mid-market companies. **Platforms:** Gusto, ADP, Paychex, BambooHR, Rippling, Xero Payroll, QuickBooks Payroll 05 ### Banking & Payments to Accounting Automatic reconciliation Bank feeds, payment processor settlements, and merchant account deposits reconcile automatically against invoices and bills in your accounting system. Stripe payouts match to individual transactions. ACH batches break down into component payments. **Platforms:** Stripe, Square, PayPal, Braintree, Plaid, Yodlee, bank feed APIs 06 ### BI & Reporting to Accounting Clean financial data for dashboards Financial data from your accounting platform flows into dashboards and reporting tools with the correct accounting context intact. Not raw numbers — properly classified, consolidated, and currency-converted financial data that ties to your general ledger. **Platforms:** Power BI, Tableau, Looker, Google Data Studio, custom dashboards [Financial Reporting & Dashboards](/financial-reporting-dashboards) Why Satva ## How We Are Different Most integration agencies employ software engineers. So do we. The difference: our team includes a qualified Chartered Accountant who reviews every integration’s financial logic before it goes live. 01 ### A Chartered Accountant Validates Every Integration Not a checkbox — real accounting validation The CA validates chart of accounts mapping (ensuring account types, hierarchies, and reporting classifications are correct), tax treatment (sales tax, VAT, GST vary by jurisdiction, product type, and customer exemption status), multi-currency handling (exchange rates, realized/unrealized gains and losses), and reconciliation rules (built-in reconciliation checks at every integration point). You are not hiring an agency that codes first and asks accounting questions later. You are hiring a team that understands the financial implications of every data mapping decision. 02 ### We Understand Chart of Accounts, Not Just API Endpoints 100+ integrations across 8+ platforms Ask your integration vendor what happens when a customer in your CRM has a different billing currency than your accounting platform’s home currency. Ask them how the resulting invoice handles exchange rate differences. Ask them where the realized gain or loss posts. If the answer involves “we will figure it out during implementation,” that is the wrong vendor for a financial integration. Our team has built 100+ integrations across QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, Sage, NetSuite, Business Central, MYOB, and Acumatica. We have reusable components for common patterns that skip months of R&D your team would otherwise spend discovering the same problems we solved years ago. 03 ### We Build and Operate Long-term technology partner Satva builds the integration, deploys it, monitors it, and maintains it. We offer ongoing support and maintenance so the integration keeps working as APIs evolve, your business processes change, and transaction volumes grow. We are not a consulting firm that disappears after the SOW is signed. We are a technology partner with recurring clients who have been with us for years. 04 ### Platform Certified Verified expertise, not participation trophies QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor and authorized Solutions Provider. Xero Certified Developer with published integrations. MYOB Certified Integration Developer. Acumatica Certified Integration Developer. Zoho Strategic Consulting & Implementation Partner. Linnworks Certified Implementation Partner. The only company from India shortlisted for the Intuit Professional Partner program.

Each channel had its own data format. Each payment processor settled on a different schedule. Reconciliation took three full days per month. Satva built a unified integration that pulls order data from all channels, applies the correct revenue accounts and tax treatment, and posts transactions to their accounting platform automatically. Payment processor deposits reconcile against individual transactions without manual matching. ### Westside Pizza $592K+ in Operational Savings A multi-location food service business was running separate systems for POS, inventory, payroll, and accounting. Financial data moved between systems via end-of-day exports that were frequently incomplete or delayed. Cash flow visibility lagged by a week or more. Satva connected POS, inventory, and payroll systems directly to their accounting platform with real-time data sync. Daily sales post automatically with the correct revenue and tax accounts. Inventory adjustments trigger cost of goods sold entries. Payroll journal entries generate automatically after each pay run. ### 75% Reduction in manual data entry ### $592K+ Cumulative operational savings ### 3 days → 4 hrs Month-end reconciliation time ### 50%+ Audit preparation time reduction Your Finance Team Should Not Be a Human Middleware Layer Between the Systems Your Business Runs On Request a free consultation and we will map out which integrations deliver the fastest ROI for your specific setup. [Request a Free Consultation](/contact-us) FAQ ## Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical business systems integration project take?
It depends on the number of systems, the complexity of your chart of accounts, and the volume of data. A single CRM-to-accounting integration with standard mapping typically takes four to six weeks. A multi-system project connecting ERP, CRM, eCommerce, and payroll to accounting usually takes two to four months. We start every engagement with a discovery phase — often a paid discovery sprint under $700 for smaller scopes — to map your specific requirements and provide an accurate timeline before committing to full development.
Do we own the integration code, or is it a hosted service we pay for monthly?
You own it. We build custom integrations that run on your infrastructure or your cloud account (AWS, Azure, or GCP). There are no per-user fees, no per-connection fees, and no recurring platform charges. If you choose our ongoing support and maintenance package, that is a separate agreement — but the integration code itself belongs to you.
What accounting platforms do you integrate with?
QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, Sage (Intacct, 50, 300), Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, MYOB, Acumatica, and Zoho Books. We are certified developers on QuickBooks, Xero, MYOB, and Acumatica. If your accounting platform is not on this list, contact us — we have likely worked with it or can evaluate it quickly.
We already have Zapier workflows connecting some systems. Can you replace them incrementally?
Yes. We frequently replace Zapier and Make workflows with custom integrations on a system-by-system basis. You do not need to rip everything out at once. Most clients start with the integration that causes the most pain — usually the one with the most manual reconciliation — and expand from there. We run the custom integration in parallel with the existing workflow during a validation period before cutting over.
How do you handle errors and failed transactions?
Every integration includes error handling, retry logic, and alerting. If a transaction fails to sync — because of an API timeout, a validation error, or a data format issue — the system logs it, retries automatically based on configurable rules, and alerts your team if manual intervention is needed. Failed transactions do not silently disappear. We also build reconciliation reports that compare transaction counts and totals between the source system and accounting to catch discrepancies proactively.
What is the cost structure?
We offer fixed-cost and time-and-material engagement models. Fixed cost works well when the scope is clearly defined. Time-and-material works better for ongoing development or projects where requirements may evolve. Our rates are $30-$35/hour for US clients and $25-$30/hour for UK, Canada, and other markets. There are no per-user fees, no transaction fees, and no recurring platform charges. The initial discovery sprint is typically under $700 for smaller projects, giving you a detailed scope, estimate, and architecture plan before you commit to full development.
