Introducing Syntra ODBC: Query QuickBooks Desktop with SQL

We’re excited to introduce Syntra ODBC, a new way to connect your tools to QuickBooks Desktop data using standard SQL.

Why We Built Syntra ODBC

QuickBooks Desktop remains the backbone of accounting for thousands of businesses. But getting data out of QuickBooks for reporting, analysis, or integration has always been painful. Existing solutions are either slow, limited in SQL support, or require complex configuration.

Syntra ODBC takes a different approach: instead of a traditional ODBC driver, it runs a built-in local SQL server. This means any standard database client, from Python to Power BI, can query your QuickBooks data with zero driver installation.

Key Features

  • 120+ queryable tables: invoices, customers, items, bills, and more
  • Full SQL support: JOINs, CTEs, subqueries, aggregates, window functions
  • Smart caching: intelligent local cache with incremental sync
  • Read & write: INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE directly into QuickBooks
  • Auto custom fields: discovered automatically from your QuickBooks file
