Veem

This Accounts Payable third party software integrates with QuickBooks Online so that you can make vendor payments electronically in bulk. You may already make your payments using your bank's website, but that means you still have to recreate it in QBO. This way, create the Bill in QBO, and head to Veem.com when it's time to make your payments. You can even pay international vendors, which most other solutions can't do. There are no monthly fee or wire transfer fees, just $1 per transaction! (You can even receive international payments, too!). Click here to create an account.

DocuClipper

I just discovered a new app that you won't need often, but when you do it's a gamechanger. DocuClipper allows you to extract transactions off scanned or downloaded PDFs to turn them into an import into QBO's banking feed. This will allow you to import transactions from banks that don't connect to QBO, or historic transactions over 2 years old. It's comparable to MoneyThumb's PDF2QBO converter, but a lot less work, contains its own reconciliation to make sure you didn't miss any transactions, and it's a LOT easier to use. I myself won't subscribe monthly, just when I need it on a project, but WOW! Find out more here
