What is this Tool?

Our QIF to QBO tool converts your QIF file for QuickBooks into the QBO format. It helps import banking, expense, and income transactions smoothly into QuickBooks Desktop or Online.

How it Works

Converting QIF to QBO involves several automated steps:

  • Parsing transactions including payee, memo, category, and amounts.
  • Normalizing dates to YYYYMMDD format.
  • Assigning DEBIT or CREDIT based on transaction amount.
  • Generating unique FITID for each transaction.
  • Producing a QBO file ready for QuickBooks import.

Step-by-Step Conversion

  1. Upload your QIF file using the tool.
  2. The tool parses and validates all transactions automatically.
  3. Preview the QBO output in your browser.
  4. Download and import the QBO file into QuickBooks.

What Makes It Different

  • Client-side processing: your data never leaves your browser.
  • Automatic date normalization to prevent import errors.
  • Accurate DEBIT/CREDIT detection.
  • Preserves all transaction details including memo and check number.
  • Stable FITID generation to avoid duplicates in QuickBooks.
