With the power of AI, however, these challenges can be transformed into a streamlined, intelligent process. Adam by Tyms is here to simplify accounting by syncing with QuickBooks effortlessly, so you can focus on growing your business.
Setting Up Adam by Tyms with QuickBooks
Sign Up and QuickBooks Authentication
Getting started is simple. On the Adam by Tyms platform, click the “Continue with QuickBooks” button to begin. If you already have a QuickBooks account, you’ll be redirected to sign in securely. Once logged in, Adam by Tymsconnects directly to your QuickBooks data, ensuring that your records are synchronized from the start.
Initial Configurations and Business Profile Verification
After authentication, you’ll be taken to your Adam by Tyms dashboard. Here, you may be prompted to complete the setup process. The system automatically pulls key business information—like your company name and address—from QuickBooks. It’s important to review and verify these details to ensure accurate reporting and smooth tax filings.
Choosing Your Data Management Option
When setting up the integration, you have several options for handling your data:
- Migrate Your Data: This option copies all historical records from QuickBooks into Adam by Tyms, giving you a complete history.
- Use Adam by Tyms Only: Start fresh with new transactions, without importing past data.
- Maintain Sync with QuickBooks: Keep your data fully connected. In this mode, Adam by Tyms imports historical data and continues to sync any new records added in QuickBooks automatically.
Most businesses choose to maintain sync, ensuring all financial records stay updated in real time.
Syncing and Managing Financial Data
Understanding the Sync Process
Once your accounts are connected, Adam by Tyms begins by pulling your trial balance and all historical transactions up until two days before the current date. For example, if you sync on April 15, records up to April 13 are imported. New transactions recorded in QuickBooks after the sync will update in Adam by Tyms within a day, keeping your books accurate and up to date.
Managing and Editing Transactions
For the best results, edits should ideally be made in QuickBooks. When you update an entry in QuickBooks, Adam by Tyms promptly reflects these changes during the next synchronization. If you add a transaction directly in Adam by Tyms, it will sync back to QuickBooks. This bi-directional syncing ensures consistency across both platforms.
Viewing Key Financial Data
Within Adam by Tyms, you can access three core tables:
- Manual Journal Entries: Track transactions you enter manually.
- Bank Transactions: Review and categorize entries from your bank statements.
- Chart of Accounts: This list, imported from QuickBooks, helps maintain a structured view of all your accounts.
These tables provide a clear picture of your financial health and support efficient management.
Automating Bank Statement Processing
Uploading PDFs and Automatic Categorization
One of the standout features of Adam by Tyms is its ability to handle PDF bank statements. After uploading a statement, the system automatically reads and categorizes transactions, dramatically reducing manual data entry. You can set up categorization rules in advance so that every transaction is classified as needed, minimizing errors and saving valuable time.
Creating and Managing Bank Accounts
If Adam by Tyms detects a bank statement from an unrecognized bank, it automatically creates a new account entry for you. For existing accounts, simply select the appropriate one from your list. This automatic account creation simplifies your workflow and ensures that your banking information stays organized.
Best Practices for Bank Transaction Uploads
- Use dates that follow the last synchronized balance to ensure clarity.
- Batch your uploads when possible to save time.
- Regularly review categorized transactions to catch any discrepancies early.
Once the transactions are processed and categorized, they are added to your journals and then synced back to QuickBooks, ensuring a full-circle flow of data.

Creating Custom Dashboards
Beyond managing transactions, Adam by Tyms offers smart dashboards that provide a quick view of your business’s financial status. You can easily create a new dashboard to track key metrics like cash flow or revenue.
