Books that match the agreements.
Most consulting firms close the month with three tabs open: QuickBooks, the agreements folder, and a spreadsheet that ties them together. Bridge replaces the spreadsheet — every invoice, payment, and AR-aged dollar traces back to the SOW that authorized it. QuickBooks gets clean sync; your accountant stops asking for exports.
No per user fees, ever.
I’ve been part of practices that were steered by accounting. It doesn’t work. Bookkeeping is critical — but it’s downstream of the work, not the thing that drives it.
Two-way QuickBooks Online sync
Invoices, payments, customers, and deposits sync to QuickBooks automatically. AR aging in Bridge matches AR aging in QB. No spreadsheet reconciliation. No 'who has the source of truth' debates between you and your accountant.
AR aging tied to engagement health
AR aging isn't just 'how late is this invoice' — Bridge ties each aged invoice back to the engagement it came from, the SOW that authorized it, and the client that owes you. Drill down from a 60-day-overdue dollar to the deliverable that triggered it.
Period close, without the fire drill
Close the month: every invoice issued, every payment received, every retainer renewed, every deliverable approved — all reconciled to QuickBooks. The 13-page report your accountant wants is a single click. No more end-of-month all-nighters.
