Exporting to QuickBooks Desktop
If QuickBooks Desktop is you accounting software of choice, you can still use Lightyear to help automate your business processes!

It's worth checking these out, as they all have different feature sets. Any specific questions would be best directed to their individual support teams.

If you use QuickBooks Desktop and would like to know more about how Lightyear can fit into your accounts payable process, contact our support team with any questions you have.
