PaperlessZen™ for QuickBooks
QuickBooks knows what you paid and to whom. What it does not hold is the document behind the payment: the vendor contract that set the terms, the grant agreement that governs a receipt, the signed authorization behind an expense. So when a payment is questioned in an audit or a review, the number is easy to find and the document that justifies it is somewhere else entirely.
PaperlessZen™ keeps that supporting document linked to the transaction it supports.
What connects
Documents link to QuickBooks records through external references, so a vendor contract can be paired with the vendor, and a grant agreement with the record of funds received. QuickBooks stays your accounting system; PaperlessZen is the document layer that holds the agreements behind the numbers.
Where documents show up
In PaperlessZen, filed against the counterparty or record and full-text searchable, with renewal and payment terms tracked as dates. When a transaction needs its backing document, it is a search, not a hunt through drives.
A three-step recipe
Here is how a payment gets its paper trail, starting with intake.
The contract arrives
A vendor contract or agreement comes in, and intake reads and files it.
It links to QuickBooks
PaperlessZen pairs it with the matching QuickBooks vendor or record by identifier.
The transaction has its document
The agreement, and its renewal and payment terms, are reachable from the transaction it supports.
Availability
PaperlessZen is in early beta. The QuickBooks connection is available to early customers on request. See how the same approach handles contracts, or tell us how you run QuickBooks.

Does PaperlessZen do accounting?
No. QuickBooks stays your accounting system. PaperlessZen is the document layer beneath it, keeping the contracts and agreements of record and linking them to the transactions they support.
