# Accounting

Connect PaintScout to your accounting software to reduce double entry and keep invoice activity aligned with your books.

PaintScout currently supports accounting integrations for **QuickBooks Online** and **Xero**. Each setup has its own workflow and options, so start with the guide for the platform you use today.

## In This Section

* [QuickBooks Online](/support/integrations/accounting/quickbooks-online-integration.md) — Export invoices, handle deposits, and sync payments automatically
* [Xero](/support/integrations/accounting/xero-integration.md) — Export quotes, invoices, and payments to Xero

## How to choose the right setup

### QuickBooks Online

Use QuickBooks Online if you want a mature workflow for invoices, deposits, and payment syncing. It includes more setup options for item handling, deposit invoices, surcharge behavior, and invoice timing.

### Xero

Use Xero if your accounting team already runs in Xero and you want estimates, invoices, and payments exported from PaintScout. Xero is currently in beta, so you may need support to have it enabled before setup.
