Read-only means read-only.

How FuseGrid handles your books, in plain English.

What we can — and cannot — do

FuseGrid connects to QuickBooks Online through Intuit's own OAuth consent screen, with read-only access. That's not a policy we promise to follow; it's the shape of the key. FuseGrid can read your books to analyze them. It can never create, edit, or delete a transaction, an account, or anything else in QuickBooks. There is no code path that writes to your books, because we never request the permission that would allow one.

What we access

• Your QuickBooks Online accounting data — the general ledger, statements, invoices, bills, customers, and vendors — going back five years, so the analysis sees full seasonality.
• Your company profile (name, industry) to pick the right benchmarks.

We don't access your bank logins, payroll provider, or anything outside the QuickBooks connection you approve.

What we store, and how

• A synced copy of your accounting data, so your Brief, forecasts, and reports are ready every morning without re-reading QuickBooks from scratch.
• Everything is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest.
• Access is scoped by workspace membership — you control who's invited, and per-viewer permissions control what each person sees.
• Share links are view-only snapshots, served from a random token you can revoke at any time. Recipients never touch your live workspace.

Disconnecting

You can disconnect from either side at any time — inside FuseGrid, or from Intuit's own connected-apps page. Disconnecting stops all syncing immediately. If you want your synced data deleted as well, email hello@fusegrid.io and we'll confirm deletion. Any Excel or PowerPoint files you exported are native files on your machine — they're yours forever. See how to disconnect.

Your accountant as auditor

Every plan includes unlimited seats, so your accountant can log in free and see exactly what you see — every number, drillable to the ledger entries behind it. We built FuseGrid to be audited, because you should audit it. We like it when someone checks our work.
