Manual Double Entry Across Two Systems

Your Malta entity runs on QuickBooks Online. Your Norwegian group consolidation runs on Visma. Every month, the entire general ledger must be replicated by hand β€” transaction by transaction.

πŸ“‹

Line-by-Line Manual Entry

Every GL transaction from QuickBooks must be individually read and re-typed into Visma. There is no copy-paste, no import function β€” just manual keystroke entry for each debit and credit line.

πŸ’±

Currency & FX Complexity

Approximately 75% of transactions are in EUR, but Visma requires Norwegian currency codes and FX rates that are updated manually by the group before any import can begin.

πŸ‡³πŸ‡΄

Norwegian-Language Interface

Over half of Visma's interface is in Norwegian or Swedish. This adds friction to an already tedious process and increases the risk of data entry errors.

πŸ“ˆ

Quarter & Year-End Peaks

Routine months are already time-consuming. Quarter-end and year-end closings multiply the transaction volume, creating pressure that risks errors when accuracy matters most.

πŸ”Œ

No Native Integration

QuickBooks and Visma have no built-in integration. Visma's own support confirmed the best available option is copy-paste from Excel β€” which doesn't work for your transaction volumes.

⏱️

Hours on Low-Value Work

A qualified accountant is spending hours each month re-keying data that already exists in digital form β€” time that should be spent on analysis, advisory, and oversight.

A Secure Bridge Between QuickBooks & Visma

We build a lightweight integration layer that extracts your Malta GL from QuickBooks and prepares it for Visma β€” with you reviewing and approving before anything is posted.

1

Extract

Connect to QuickBooks via its official API and pull all GL transactions for the period β€” debits, credits, account codes, currencies, and amounts.

2

Transform

Map transactions from your QuickBooks chart of accounts to the corresponding Visma account numbers, with currency codes and FX handling applied.

3

Review

Receive a clean preview of exactly what will be imported. Review, flag anomalies, and approve. Nothing touches Visma without your sign-off.

4

Import

Once approved, entries are pushed directly via Visma's API or exported as a pre-formatted import file β€” depending on your Visma product.

Human-in-the-loop by design. This is not "set and forget" automation. The entire workflow is built around your review and approval at each month-end. The tool does the heavy lifting β€” you remain the decision-maker who confirms every import.

The Right Solution Depends on Your Visma Product

We have prepared both options so you can proceed immediately once you identify which Visma product your Norwegian group uses.

Option B: Smart File Generator

For older Visma products without a public API

€2,000 one-time / excl. VAT
  • Automated GL extraction from QuickBooks Online via official API
  • One-time chart of accounts mapping (QuickBooks ↔ Visma)
  • Multi-currency handling with FX rate awareness
  • Generates Visma-compatible import files (Excel/CSV)
  • Web-based review dashboard before file generation
  • Monthly scheduling aligned with your close process
  • You upload the file into Visma β€” one step replacing hundreds of manual entries

This applies if your Visma product does not have a public API, or if your organisation's IT policy restricts third-party API access. The integration still eliminates 90%+ of the manual work β€” the only remaining manual step is the file upload into Visma itself.

How to Identify Your Option

To determine which option applies, we need one piece of information from your Norwegian IT team or Visma account manager:

1
Check the product name. Log into Visma and look at the URL in your browser or your account/subscription page. The product name will appear β€” e.g. "Visma Net", "Business NXT", "eAccounting", or "Visma Business".
2
Ask your Visma contact: "Does our product have a developer API for creating journal vouchers?" If yes β†’ Option A. If no or unclear β†’ Option B.
3
Let us know. Reply to Calvin with this information and we begin immediately with the correct scope. No further discovery meetings needed.

From Sign-Off to Go-Live in 4–6 Weeks

A phased rollout that starts with understanding your account structures and ends with a hands-off monthly process.

1

Discovery & Account Mapping

Week 1

We sit down with you to map your QuickBooks chart of accounts to the corresponding Visma account numbers. We document currency codes, FX handling rules, and any special journal entry types.

2

QuickBooks API Integration

Weeks 2–3

We connect to your QuickBooks Online account via Intuit's official API. We build the extraction logic to pull all GL transactions for a given period. OAuth 2.0 authentication ensures secure, revocable access.

Visma Integration or File Generator

Weeks 3–4

Option A: Connection to Visma's Journal Transaction Service API with voucher creation logic.
Option B: File generator outputting Visma-compatible Excel/CSV with correct formatting.

Review Dashboard & Testing

Weeks 4–5

We build the review interface and test against a real month of your data. We walk through the output with you to ensure complete accuracy before going live.

Go-Live & Hypercare

Week 6

First live monthly run with Born Digital on standby. We monitor end-to-end, verify outputs against a manual control sample, and address edge cases. After two successful runs, we transition to ongoing support.

πŸš€ Production go-live

Managed Support β€” €200/month

A lightweight managed service agreement that keeps your integration running smoothly and adapts to changes in either accounting system.

πŸ›‘οΈ

Priority Support

Email and remote support with 4-hour response time during business hours (Mon–Fri, 09:00–17:00 CET). Critical month-end issues treated as urgent.

πŸ”„

API Change Monitoring

Both QuickBooks and Visma update their APIs periodically. We monitor changes, test compatibility, and apply updates before they affect your workflow.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Account Mapping Updates

When your chart of accounts changes, we update the mapping logic. Up to 2 mapping revisions per month included at no extra cost.

πŸ“Š

Quarterly Health Check

Every quarter we review integration performance: transaction volumes, error rates, processing times, and upcoming system changes. A short written report is provided.

πŸ”

Security & Token Management

OAuth tokens, API credentials, and access permissions are managed and rotated as needed to maintain compliance with both platforms.

πŸ“ž

Month-End Standby

During your first three month-ends, a Born Digital engineer is on standby during your close process. Transitions to on-demand support thereafter.

Minimum term: 12 months, billed monthly. The agreement renews annually. Either party may cancel with 30 days' written notice after the initial term.

Investment Summary

Clear, transparent pricing. All figures are exclusive of VAT.

Option B β€” Smart File Generator

Implementation (one-time)€2,000
Managed support (monthly)€200/mo
Annual support cost€2,400
Year 1 Total€4,400
Year 2+ (support only)€2,400/yr

The real ROI: If the current manual process takes even 6–8 hours per month of a qualified accountant's time, the integration pays for itself within months β€” not years. Quarter-end and year-end closings, where volumes multiply, accelerate the return further. Beyond time savings, the reduction in data entry errors protects the integrity of your group consolidation.
