QuickBooks Connect - Level 2 Exhibitors (cont.)
In this article we will look briefly at several more of the 'Level 2 Exhibitors' at this year's conference.
a2x
A2X for Amazon
A2X makes it easy for you to account accurately for your Amazon marketplace sales. Get your Amazon revenue, fees and other transactions posted automatically to your QuickBooks Online ledger and reconciled to bank deposits received from Amazon. A2X journals posted to QuickBooks will match perfectly against the corresponding deposit from Amazon, so you can be confident the cash received from Amazon has been accounted for.
A2X automatically fetches and processes Amazon settlements, generates journals for each settlement and posts them to QuickBooks Online, automatically. Each time Amazon initiates a settlement, A2X detects it, loads the transactions, and generates a summary of the revenue, expenses, and the various other transactions. Configure A2X to aggregate sales by SKU, by product type, or by country. You select which ledger accounts and tax rates A2X should use for each Amazon transaction type.
A2X supports sales through Amazon marketplaces world-wide, and has multi-currency capability built in. So, if you or your clients work with Amazon and QuickBooks Online, be sure to stop by the A2X booth in the QuickBooks Connect exhibit hall.

QBox
Qbox provides a simple, affordable and secure way to share QuickBooks (Desktop) with an unlimited number of remote users. Many people are moving their accounting to the cloud and are attempting to choose between a hosted option or a SaaS solution. The reality is that not everyone is ready to make that transition; so, they want a solution that will give them cloud-based sharing of their desktop files while still leaving them in control of their application and data.
Qbox users are not subject to internet performance (or lack thereof) while working in their QuickBooks file. The internet/cloud is only involved during the synchronization process which initiates automatically when your file(s) are closed. While synchronizing, the user can open and work on another QuickBooks file or any other locally hosted program. In other words, users are not waiting on the internet.
To find out why a growing number of ProAdvisors, Accountants, Bookkeepers and Business Owners are choosing Qbox as their preferred resource for sharing their QuickBooks data just stop by the Qbox booth in the exhibit hall.
