QuickBooks
Causal reads the following financial statements from QuickBooks:
- P&L
- Balance Sheet
These are converted into Data sources in Causal, letting you connect variables in Causal to line items in the financial statements.
Causal doesn't write any data back to QuickBooks.

FAQ
Can you bring in dimensions (e.g. classes and departments) from QuickBooks into Causal as a Dimension?
Yes! Click "Edit this Datasource" in the Overview tab:
Then choose "Use classes" or "Use departments". Only select the ones you actually need. The refresh time will increase significantly if you have many classes or departments.
It's also possible to "Pull Vendors and Customers" as data source dimensions. QuickBooks Online doesn't provide this breakdown, so we calculate the financial statements based on the transactions if you enable this setting. If you have many transactions the initial setup can take several hours or even days if you enable this setting.
