ClearBooks Integration Services That Keep Your Books Accurate
The finance team gets stuck and loses hours with the same process: a sale comes in the CRM, and one person enters it in ClearBooks while another matches it to the bank account. PenguinPeak Technologies provides the integration that solves this. We integrate ClearBooks with your existing software, make it MTD-ready, and deliver an accounting system you can trust.
Services Provided to ClearBooks Customers
Integration Through API
We use the ClearBooks REST API to build integrations, ensuring no duplicate entries for customers, vendors, invoices, bills, or credit memos.
Workflow Automation
Automated rules dictate what happens next, like creating an invoice when an order is paid or requiring approval before posting a large bill. Decision-making isn’t stuck in anyone’s email box.
Data Migration
We migrate contacts, open invoices, and history data into ClearBooks from spreadsheets or other software. We will check mappings item by item, so your opening balances are correct from day one.
Reconciliation Assistance
We configure bank feeds and matching rules so only a small number of transactions require manual entry. Your bookkeeper will review the transactions for reconciliation.
Monitoring
We record all synchronizations and note inconsistencies. You get an alert instantly when your link breaks down; you don’t have to wait till month-end.
ClearBooks MTD Readiness
Record structure
We set up the income and expense category structure to align with your quarterly update needs. Clear categories ensure you have fewer corrections later.
Qualifying income check
We assist you in determining your qualifying income, which includes gross self-employment and gross UK property income before any expenses. This allows you to determine the year of compliance with this requirement.
Quarterly update process
We build the processes and data feeds behind your four quarterly updates. Subsequent submissions will take only minutes.
Final declaration compliance
The Final Declaration substitutes for the Self Assessment return form and is generated based on your quarterly information. Some Clear Books website pages list year-end filing as “coming soon,” so we ensure compliance before planning.

ClearBooks Free: What Features It Has and Where It Ends
This free MTD plan is for sole traders and landlords with simple needs. This plan has income and expenditure accounting, bank feeds and automatic reconciliation, invoice generation and email sending, basic reporting, MTD updates three times a year, and no transaction limit. You can upgrade based on your convenience.
The free plan is limited to sole traders and small businesses; limited companies, partnerships, and charities require a paid plan. Additional features like payroll are charged separately, and the full accounting software includes a 30-day trial. ClearBooks also provides a plan for accountants with unlimited clients called a practice plan, so you may want to check their pricing page.
Custom Connector or Off-the-Shelf?
The ClearBooks Unified API platform offers several third-party solutions, meaning ready-made connectors do exist. We will tell you straight if it is all you need.
- Pick a ready-made connector if your process is straightforward, for example, invoices from one application into ClearBooks only.
- We recommend custom builds when you need workflow approvals, multiple-entity posting, or complex tax mapping that generic solutions can’t handle.
- We recommend intelligent validation for large data volumes. Our Exception Check module from the AI Development team finds duplicates, inconsistencies, and suspicious vendors for manual review.

Failures in financial integrations are often silent, so experience matters. Every integration we offer includes restricted access, logged modifications, a rollback plan, and a written handover.

ClearBooks lets you track rental income and expenses and submit quarterly reports via MTD for Income Tax. It also caters for multiple rental properties, joint ownership, and mortgage interest regulations. Rental and self-employment income must be reported separately, as they come from different sources. Our custom integration can automatically import all rental transactions, saving time on manual entry.
Choose a plan, connect your bank feed, and log transactions as they occur. We will assist with the setup so that you will have a fresh start with your categories.
Sole proprietors and landlords with qualifying gross income exceeding £50,000 from April 2026, £30,000 from April 2027, and £20,000 from April 2028.
The timeframe depends on the integration scope. Single invoice integration is much less extensive than a setup with multiple entities and approval workflows. We will define the exact timeframe after discovery calls.
