Finly + Zoho Books

Accounting · Two-way sync · Live since 2025 · About 8 minutes to connect

What it does

Finly posts card spend and bills into Zoho Books with the account and the tax already on them, and matches them to the bank feed as it lands. Cost centres arrive as reporting tags, so the organisation's own dimensions survive the trip.

What syncs

What moves, and which way.

Both directions, on every sync.Nothing here is a nightly batch —a record that changes at 14:02 is in the ledger before you look at it.

Zoho Books → Finly

  • The chart of accounts and their types
  • Tax rates and tax groups
  • Reporting tags and their options
  • Vendors and their payment terms
  • Bank and card accounts
  • The books closing date

Finly → Zoho Books

  • Card spend as expenses, with the receipt
  • Bills, with their terms and reference
  • Reimbursement journals, one per pay run

Connected

What it looks like once it is on.

The Finly ledger view for a connected payments account: €1.84M settled this month, €41,900 of processing fees at 2.3% of gross, no unreconciled payouts, a twelve-week payout chart split between cards, gross and reimbursements, and three lines needing a human.

Every line, already coded.

Card spend, bills and reimbursements arrive in Zoho Books with the account, the tax treatment and the cost centre already on them.The bank feed matches them without anyone opening a spreadsheet.

Before you start

What you need, and what it will not do.

You need a Zoho Books account with adviser or administrator rights and a Finly plan that includes the ledger sync, which means Core and above.One Zoho Books organisation maps to one Finly entity, so a group running several sets of books connects each one separately —that separation is what keeps the intercompany lines apart at the close.Nothing is installed, and the credentials never leave Finly.

Two things it deliberately will not do.It will not post into a locked period:if the month is closed in Zoho Books, the entry waits in Finly until you reopen it or roll it forward.It will not touch master data —Finly reads your chart, your dimensions and your suppliers and never writes them back, so a mapping change is always yours to make.
