Learn how to use CountingKit's Looker Studio connectors to create powerful dashboards with your Xero and QuickBooks accounting data.
CountingKit's Looker Studio connectors are specialized data connectors that allow you to directly connect your accounting data sources to Google Looker Studio (formerly Google Data Studio). These connectors eliminate the need for manual data exports and provide real-time access to your accounting data for creating beautiful, interactive dashboards.
Looker Studio connectors are different from regular data exporters. They provide direct, real-time access to your data in Looker Studio without requiring scheduled exports to Google Sheets or BigQuery.
CountingKit is developing Looker Studio connectors for the following accounting platforms:
Connect your Xero accounting data directly to Looker Studio for comprehensive financial analysis and reporting.
Access your QuickBooks accounting data in Looker Studio for unified financial reporting and analysis.
Our Looker Studio connectors work by providing a direct API connection between your accounting data sources and Looker Studio. Here's how the process works:
First, you need to connect your accounting platform (Xero or QuickBooks) to your CountingKit account. This establishes the data connection and authentication.
Create an API key in your CountingKit account settings. This key authenticates your Looker Studio connector requests and ensures secure access to your data.
Use the connector installation link from your CountingKit dashboard to add the connector to your Looker Studio account. Enter your API key when prompted.
In Looker Studio, select your account, choose the data type you want to visualize, set your date range, and select the fields you need for your dashboard.
Create charts, tables, and visualizations using your accounting data. The connector provides real-time access to your data, so your dashboards stay up-to-date automatically.
Before using CountingKit's Looker Studio connectors, make sure you have:
