Review-gated bookkeeping in QuickBooks Desktop on Windows: reports, SQL, batches, reversal.
Bookkeeping in QuickBooks Desktop with a person's review before anything posts. This plugin teaches Claude, Codex and the ChatGPT desktop app how to work a QuickBooks Desktop company file through Zeno: set up and register company files, answer questions from the books, prepare batches of bills, checks, journal entries, invoices and payments for a person to approve, correct work that is already posted, and leave a record the next session can pick up.
qb_* tools and connects them to Claude, the
ChatGPT desktop app and Codex. Quit and reopen your chat client after it
runs.Without the installed program these skills have no tools to call and will say so. The company file is read on the workstation and is never uploaded.
| Skill | Use it to |
|---|---|
zeno-qb-setup | Connect company files, check licence and read-only status, get past the first QuickBooks authorization. |
zeno-qb-analysis | Answer questions: statements from QuickBooks' own reports, anything else from a local SQL copy. |
zeno-qb-batch | Prepare, review, apply and reverse batches. Nothing posts until a person approves. |
zeno-qb-corrections | Fix, void, delete or merge what is already in the books, smallest change first. |
zeno-qb-continuity | Resume pending work, follow playbooks, and record rules, knowledge and the work log. |
Try: "Set up Zeno with my QuickBooks company files", "What did we spend on fuel last quarter?", or "Show me the batches waiting for review."
This plugin is instructions only. It contains no programs, hooks or MCP server declarations, runs nothing on install, and sends nothing anywhere.
The tools it describes come from the separately installed Zeno program, which runs on the workstation and talks to QuickBooks through Intuit's QuickBooks Desktop SDK. That program keeps its journal and local copy of the books on the same PC. It makes network calls only for these purposes: one anonymous check for a newer release at zenofirm.com, and, if a firm enrolls the workstation in a Zeno Cloud account, the exchange with api.zenofirm.com that enrollment describes. The licence check is offline. See the privacy policy and what it cannot do.
