Financial Analyst · works with QuickBooks Online
Your monthly management report, built from QuickBooks Online
Connect your QuickBooks Online company and the Financial Analyst drafts a finished management report every month, for your approval: profit and loss down to net income, a balance sheet compared with the prior month and the same month last year, cash with a 13-week forecast, working-capital cycles, and a variance read that names what moved each line. Every actual opens down to the postings behind it.

What the monthly report contains
- Profit and loss, all the way to net income. QuickBooks reports Other Income and Other Expenses as sections of their own, and the analyst reads them as such — so the bottom line in the report is the bottom line in your books, not an operating subtotal.
- A balance sheet with comparisons. Each month end sits next to the prior month and the same month a year earlier.
- Cash, 13 weeks out. A forecast with its minimum balance and headroom, and beside it a payment calendar: the open QuickBooks invoices and bills falling due each week, placed by their own due dates rather than estimated.
- Working capital. Receivables and payables aging, days sales outstanding and days payable outstanding — plus days inventory outstanding when your cost of sales runs through an inventory account.
- Variance against the prior month, with causes. Each line that moved is explained by the accounts that moved it and by how much — not by a generic sentence.
- Your classes and locations. When your company files transactions under QuickBooks classes or locations, the profit and loss is also cut by them.
The same monthly close also produces an investor report, a board deck as slides (PPTX) laid out from the report you approve, and an Excel workbook with live formulas.
What the Financial Analyst reads from QuickBooks Online
Everything comes through Intuit's QuickBooks Online Accounting API, and we only read — never write to your books:
- The Profit and Loss report, month by month. On the first connection the analyst reads the trailing 24 months, so the very first report already compares each month with the same month last year.
- The Balance Sheet report at every month end.
- The General Ledger report — every transaction line with its debit and credit, counterparty and memo, and the class and department or location it was filed under. This is what lets a figure in the report open to the postings behind it. If class or location tracking is switched off in your company, the postings still arrive; the report simply has no class cut to show.
- The chart of accounts, whose account types and detail types place each line on the right row of the statements.
- Open invoices and bills — balances and due dates — for the aging buckets and the payment calendar.
Books change after a month is reported: a late bill, a reclassification, an accountant's year-end adjustment. So each monthly run also re-reads the trailing 15 months, and a correction posted into a month that was already reported is picked up rather than left standing.
About the QuickBooks permission
Intuit offers one permission for accounting data and no read-only version of it, so the access you approve is, by Intuit's definition, read and write. Ataski issues read requests only. The Financial Analyst never posts a journal entry, never edits a transaction and never closes your books.
How to connect QuickBooks Online
- Start your free month and open the Financial Analyst.
- Open Data & settings and press Connect on the QuickBooks Online card.
- Sign in to Intuit and approve access for the company you want reported. Intuit sends you back to Ataski.
- The first sync reads your history right after you connect, and your first report draft is prepared from it.
Each QuickBooks company is its own connection. Reporting on more than one company? The Team plan holds three in one workspace, each with its own books and its own report.
Every permission the connection asks QuickBooks Online for
| Permission | What it is used for |
|---|---|
| com.intuit.quickbooks.accounting | Intuit's one accounting permission. It has no read-only version, so by Intuit's definition it covers reading and writing; Ataski only issues read requests with it. |
Checked before it reaches you or your board
- A second, independent AI reviewer reads every monthly narrative before release. When it disagrees with the analyst, the disagreement comes to you instead of being settled quietly.
- An AI explanation that cites a source outside your books is discarded, not published. If the month is not closed yet, the report says so and shows only the lines the books support.
- EBITDA is called EBITDA only when depreciation is read from the books; otherwise the line is named the operating result.
