Eigenn vs QuickBooks
Keep QuickBooks for the books. Use Eigenn for the decisions QuickBooks was never designed to host.

Switching Guide
Use Eigenn alongside QuickBooks
Keep the source system
Do not rip out the GL, bank, payment processor, or existing finance workflow that already owns part of the truth.
Connect the records
Connect QuickBooks context alongside accounting, banking, payments, customers, invoices, and documents.
Run the first finance review
Use the command center to review cash, transactions, customers, receivables, runway, and the records behind the numbers.
Stress-test one decision
Model a real decision: a hire, a revenue miss, a collection delay, a customer risk, or an expense surge.
Move the weekly ritual
Bring comments, documents, owners, and decisions onto the records instead of leaving them in side threads.
