companies that were added, or you can add a new one. Use Connect button and follow the QuickBooks wizard that will ask for your credentials in
order to authorize you on QuickBooks.
After you have set up your company here, you can start using Matter365 accounting features.

Turning custom invoice numbers on or off
You can choose if you want to populate the Invoice numbers yourself or if you want them automatically populated.
If you turn the “Custom transaction numbers” ON you will have to populate the "Invoice number" field each time you create a new Invoice in Matter365.
If you turn the “Custom transaction numbers” OFF the Invoice numbering will be automatic and you won't have to input the Invoice number each time you create a new Invoice.
To turn the “Custom transaction numbers” on/off:

Customizing Invoices
The Custom Form Styles module in QuickBooks Online lets you edit the layout, design, and data fields that appear on your invoices. For details on how to customize your invoices, please see the QBO article here: How to Customize Invoices
Setting up and editing Sales and Expenses categories
When creating invoices in Matter365, there are default billing categories for Product/Service that will appear on your invoices. These categories are imported from QBO.
- For time tracking, the default value is “Hours”
- For expenses, the default value is “Expenses”
You can edit these Product/Service categories by going to Matter365 Main Setting (Gear Icon in upper Right) and clicking on “QuickBooks Online Integration”. You can change the default value by choosing from the drop-down menus.
- To add/edit categories to your drop-down options in Matter365, you will first have to add/edit the Sales and Expense categories in QBO:
- Go to QBO Main Settings (Gear Icon in Upper right-hand corner)
- Under “Lists”, click on “Products and Services”
- To add more Products or Services, click on “New” and click on “Service”
- Enter the information on the New Service:
- Name: this is the name that will appear on your invoices and can be used to track your Services in QBO reports
- Income Account: This is where the amount of services sold will be accounted for as Income. For services that your firm renders, “Sales” is the best choice. However, check with your accountant or Bookkeeper to ensure that you have chosen the correct account.
