Import from QuickBooks Online ZIP

Create a company in SPRK by importing a QuickBooks Online ZIP export from the Companies page.

Purpose

Use this workflow when you already exported company data from QuickBooks Online and want SPRK to create or import the company from that ZIP package.

Prerequisites

  • You can open Settings → Companies.
  • You have a QuickBooks Online export saved as a .zip file.
  • You have room to create another company in your workspace.

Steps

  1. Open Settings → Companies.
  2. Open the menu attached to New Company.
  3. Select Import from QBO (ZIP).
  4. In the file picker, choose the QuickBooks Online .zip export.
  5. Wait for SPRK to finish the import and refresh the companies list.
  6. Confirm that the imported company appears in the Companies table.
  7. If needed, select the new company so it becomes the active company across the app.
  8. Review imported records before moving into daily work, especially chart of accounts, customers, and vendors.

Expected Result

SPRK imports the QuickBooks Online ZIP and adds the imported company to the companies list.

Common Mistakes

  • Choosing a file that is not a QuickBooks Online ZIP export.
  • Using the QBO import path for a QuickBooks Desktop IIF file.
  • Skipping the post-import review and assuming every record mapped exactly as expected.
  • Expecting this workflow to load every possible historical workflow automatically. Review the imported company before production use.
