QuickBooks Online
QuickBooks connection expired or disconnected
Reconnect when syncs fail with an authorization error.
Who: Owner, Admin, AccountantUpdated 2026-09-28
Symptoms: sync fails with "QuickBooks disconnected — please reconnect" or "invalid_grant / Incorrect or invalid refresh token", a red banner appears at the top of the app, the QuickBooks card shows Needs reconnect, and Owners/Admins receive a "reconnect QuickBooks" email.
Ledgerzoom renews QuickBooks access automatically every day. While QuickBooks needs reconnecting, nightly syncs for that company are paused (not retried every hour).
Fix
- Settings → Connections → Reconnect QuickBooks (or Disconnect then Connect).
- Pick the same QuickBooks company as before.
- Click Sync now.
Causes include the QuickBooks user losing admin access, access being revoked from the Intuit app list, or 100+ days without use. Mappings are kept when reconnecting to the same company.
