There is no built-in Asana QuickBooks integration from Asana or Intuit. Both vendors' forums point people to Zapier or Make, which can make a QuickBooks invoice or customer when a task is done in Asana. You can also export time from Asana and import invoices into QuickBooks Online from a file. Where they stop: Asana tasks don't carry a customer or a price, the detailed time export isn't on for everyone, the Zapier trigger skips subtasks, and QuickBooks won't import invoices this way once sales tax is set up. AI agents check each project's finished work and hours against QuickBooks and build the invoices.
Why an Asana QuickBooks integration matters
Your team plans and finishes client work in Asana. You bill for it in QuickBooks Online. With no link, someone opens each project at month end, works out what got done and how long it took, and types it into an invoice. Work that was finished but never billed is easy to miss, and so are hours logged on the wrong task.
So a good connection has to do more than make an invoice when a task is checked off. It has to know which client the work is for, what it should cost, and whether the hours in Asana match what you bill.
Three ways to connect Asana and QuickBooks
None of them come from Asana or Intuit. Each one is something you build or run yourself.
A Zapier zap
- How it works
- Zapier connects Asana and QuickBooks Online. Asana triggers include Completed Task, Updated Task and Task Moved to Section. QuickBooks Online actions include making a customer or an invoice.
- Good for
- A simple job, like a draft invoice when a fixed-price task moves to a Done or Ready to bill section.
- Where it breaks
- Zapier says the Completed Task trigger doesn't fire on completed subtasks. An Asana task has no customer or price of its own, so you add fields for them and keep them filled in. Each zap is one trigger and one job.
A Make scenario
- How it works
- Make's Asana module watches for new or completed tasks, subtasks, projects and comments. Its QuickBooks module can make invoices, customers, estimates and time activities, and send invoices.
- Good for
- Teams who want logged time to land in QuickBooks as time activities, with more steps than a zap allows.
- Where it breaks
- Make's Asana triggers watch tasks, not hours logged, so pulling the time out is part of what you build. Someone has to keep the scenario working when a field or project changes.
Export from Asana, import into QuickBooks
- How it works
- Asana can export a project's time entries by person and date as a CSV file. QuickBooks Online can import invoices from a CSV file under Settings, then Import data.
- Good for
- Small teams who bill once a month and want to check the numbers before anything reaches QuickBooks.
- Where it breaks
- Asana says the time entry export is in limited availability and may not be visible to all users. Intuit says you can import up to 100 invoices at a time, no discounts or credit memos, and none at all this way if sales tax is set up.
Arkeo agents
- How it works
- Agents read finished tasks and hours in Asana, check them against each client's plan, build the invoices in QuickBooks, and send the project lead a list of work with no hours and hours not billed.
- Good for
- Agencies and service firms that bill from project work and lose hours each month between the two.
- Where it breaks
- Anything your rules keep for a person, like an invoice over budget or a client dispute, goes to the owner in one message.
How to connect Asana to QuickBooks Online
Start by deciding how you bill. The vendors' guides have the screens.
- 1
Decide what turns into a billWrite down whether you bill by task, by hour or by project, and which client each Asana project belongs to. Add fields in Asana for the client and the amount if your billing depends on them.
- 2Turn on time tracking in Asana
If you bill by the hour, open the project, select Customize, then Fields, then + Add, and add Time your work. This adds Estimated time and Actual time. Asana says it is on its Advanced, Enterprise and Enterprise+ plans.
- 3Build the zap, or the scenario
In Zapier, connect Asana and QuickBooks Online, use Completed Task or Task Moved to Section as the trigger, and make an invoice as the action. Send drafts first, not finished invoices.
- 4Or export the hours from Asana
Open the drop-down next to the project's name, select Sync/Export, then Time entries as CSV. If you don't see it, the standard CSV export gives total time per task only, with no dates or names.
- 5Import the invoices into QuickBooks
Go to Settings, then Import data, then Invoices. Upload your CSV file, match your columns to the QuickBooks fields, set the date format, and select Start import.
- 6
Check the first month by hand
Compare one month of finished tasks and hours in Asana to the invoices in QuickBooks, client by client, before you trust it.
What still has to be done by hand
People have asked for a direct connection for years. In Asana's forum, a 2023 thread got the answer that there is no official integration, with Zapier and Make as the way around it. A 2025 request to turn QuickBooks invoices into Asana tasks got the same answer, and a reply noted that Asana has no public roadmap. In Intuit's own forum, a QuickBooks team member pointed an Asana user to outside connector apps.
The hours are hard to get out cleanly. Asana keeps time on each task. Its detailed export, by person and date, is marked limited availability. In Asana's forum in 2025, people on paid plans said they couldn't see it, and one quoted a release note saying it was rolled back after bugs were found. Without it, the export gives one total per task, so making a timesheet means sorting through the time log by hand.
The connectors only know what the task tells them. The Zapier trigger for a completed task skips completed subtasks, while Asana adds subtask time into the parent task. A task with no client or price field filled in makes a wrong invoice, or none.
QuickBooks has its own limits on the import. Intuit's guide says up to 100 invoices per import and 1,000 rows per file, no discounts or credit memos, and no import this way at all once sales tax is set up in the account. Time isn't on the list of things QuickBooks Online imports from a file.
So the month end check stays with someone: the project lead or the bookkeeper, matching finished work to hours to invoices, one client at a time.
The agents that do it
Each agent does one job from start to finish, in your own Asana and QuickBooks. Your team talks to them in Slack or Teams.

Questions
Is my customers' information safe?
Yes. Agents work in your own Asana and QuickBooks and see only what their job needs. Customer details never go into public AI. Agents connect to AI through business-grade connections audited under SOC 2.
Does Asana integrate with QuickBooks?
Not directly. Neither Asana nor Intuit has a built-in connection between them. People use Zapier or Make, or export from Asana and import into QuickBooks Online.
Can I send Asana time tracking to QuickBooks?
Not on its own. Asana can export time entries as a CSV file, where that export is turned on. QuickBooks Online doesn't import time from a file, so the hours go in through a tool like Make, or onto the invoice itself.
Will this replace my bookkeeper?
No. Your bookkeeper sets the rules and reviews the books. Agents do the checking and the invoice drafts, so your bookkeeper's hours go to the work that needs them.
What does it cost?
You get the price on the call, along with the hours it saves your team.
