Is it safe to connect QuickBooks to ChatGPT or Claude?

It's as safe as the controls around it. LedgerLink uses Intuit's official OAuth, encrypts stored connections, limits each employee to assigned clients, and requires approval before posting.

Does LedgerLink store my clients' financial data?

No full copies. We store the encrypted connection and an activity log with short summaries. The books stay in QuickBooks.

Can I see everything the AI did?

Yes. The activity log shows every lookup and posting by person and by company, and each QuickBooks transaction is signed with who asked for it.

Security

How LedgerLink keeps your clients' books safe

Connecting client books to AI should make a firm more controlled, not less. Here is exactly what LedgerLink stores, what it doesn't, and the guardrails that sit between your team's AI and QuickBooks.

Connections

QuickBooks is connected through Intuit's official OAuth sign-in. We never see or store QuickBooks passwords.
QuickBooks connection tokens are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before they're stored, and refreshed automatically.
AI assistants connect to LedgerLink with OAuth 2.1, so no API keys are pasted into chats.
Disconnecting a company revokes its access at Intuit and deletes the stored tokens.

Access control

Each employee reaches only the client companies you assign, checked on every request.
Read-only or read-and-post, per person.
Removing someone ends their access immediately.
Optional two-step verification (authenticator app) for every sign-in.
Owners and admins get an email when a company is connected, reconnected or disconnected.

Guardrails on posting

Every write is returned as a preview and only recorded after the person confirms. This is enforced by our server, not by the AI.
The AI must name the client company before it reads or writes anything.
Each posting carries a private note in QuickBooks with who asked for it and why.

What we store

The encrypted QuickBooks connection, your firm's team and access settings, and an activity log with a short summary of each lookup and posting. Your clients' books stay in QuickBooks; data passes through to your AI assistant without being copied into a LedgerLink database. See the privacy policy for full details.
