How can I integrate Cegid Quadra with Qonto?

  • Updated

Qonto and Cegid Quadra offer several integration methods for retrieving your accounting data. Depending on your setup, you can retrieve invoices, bank transactions, or for Accountants, set up a full synchronization of accounting entries via the Espace Qontable API.

☝️ Qonto is an Authorized Platform (PA): this notably allows you to automatically retrieve purchase invoices within the platform, without having to download them manually.

☝️ If you are an Accountant, you must have an Accountant access to access your clients' files via the Espace Qontable. If not, ask your clients to invite you as an Accountant on their account. The Qonto Basic plan does not allow this invitation.
