LiveFlow Reviews & Product Details

The most impactful part of LiveFlow is the automated, real-time data sync. In the past, our financial reporting was always lagging. By the time we manually pulled reports from QuickBooks into Google Sheets, the data was already several days old. Especially when we're waiting for a third party team to reconcile our account.

The initial setup of complex, custom-mapped reports can take a little bit of time. However, the LiveFlow support team is super responsive and helps bridge that gap quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

“What I like best about LiveFlow is its ability to pull real-time data from QuickBooks into Google Sheets with zero manual effort. It saves me hours every week and allows me to build fully customized, automated reports for each client. The flexibility, speed, and reliability—combined with excellent support—make it an essential tool in my financial reporting workflow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While LiveFlow is an incredibly powerful tool, one area for improvement could be its integration with some third-party platforms outside of QuickBooks. Although the core features are top-notch, expanding compatibility with more accounting software or advanced data visualization tools could make it even more versatile for a wider range of users. However, this is a minor concern compared to the overall value LiveFlow brings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The instant connection that LiveFlow creates between Quickbooks and a google sheet have been so valuable to our team. Our ability to make adjustments in Quickbooks and immediately refresh the reports to show the change is amazing. It helps us input feedback immediately during a call as we review reports, saves from miscommunication or lack of follow up from the old manual report method.

The one difficulty about documents that auto refresh is that the version history becomes nearly impossible to navigate. LiveFlow did help this significantly by offering the option to refresh daily rather than just hourly. However, even daily it can become difficult to find a prior version after enough time.

I like LiveFlow's ability to integrate with QuickBooks Online and Google Sheets. It provides live data linked to QBO and custom reporting for monthly and ongoing management reports. This integration makes it easy for us to pull QBO reports and data live into a format that can be manipulated for easy client consumption. It's a system that's easy for us to use, and clients are familiar with Google Sheets, which is a big plus. Also, the initial setup of LiveFlow was pretty easy.

I don't like having to build out custom reports myself. I'd prefer more out-of-the-box reports that aren't available in QuickBooks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the account mapping feature, which is easy to use and very intuitive. It can be used in either Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel, which makes it versatile. I also appreciate the flexibility across different systems and the time saving nature of the account mapping feature that adds great value for me. The initial setup was relatively painless, thanks to the onboarding team that assisted and remained in contact after the setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm very happy with the product, but perhaps a potential improvement would be more customization with the reports and their layout Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I mainly use LiveFlow for consolidations, budgeting, and general financial reporting. Once the reports are set up, it saves me hours of work each month. I really like the ease of use; the user interface is simple and easy to navigate. The mapping tool makes creating consolidated reports much easier. It's powerful because we don't have to standardize all charts of accounts across all entities being consolidated. The drag and drop method is simple and intuitive, and we don't need to spend a lot of time learning LiveFlow because the interface is so simple, which also saves time. The setup was a breeze. If you're familiar with Google Sheets or Excel, there shouldn't be any trouble learning how to use LiveFlow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I hope they add soon the ability to run a QuickBooks Online canned year over year report. The Year to Date and Month to Date reports in QuickBooks Online are reports we use very extensively, and currently a prior year report and a current year report have to be combined into one report to view the year over year comparisons. This is cumbersome and time-consuming. Adding the year over year comparison report to the available report selections would save us even more time. The price point is a little high.

I like how LiveFlow allows me to separate management reporting according to the departments in QuickBooks, which helps include costs in operations departments as Cost of Goods Sold and other department costs into Operating expenses. I also appreciate the ability to set up new account consolidation points, making our management reporting simpler and better. The flexibility to change consolidation and account mapping is outstanding, as it lets me move expenses seamlessly between reporting buckets to fit my current reporting needs. Plus, the initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the tool but I wish it had the ability to generate standard year-to-date or Quarter-to-date reporting cubes that could be leveraged for standard reporting. I also wish it could generate reports on a TTM Basis (Trailing 12 months). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love using LiveFlow to automate financial reporting data in Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets for my accounting clients. LiveFlow makes it easy to provide accurate, complete financial statements and retrofit automated balances & transactions into client-owned spreadsheets. I really appreciate the ease of automation, the user-friendliness, and the connection to QuickBooks Online and Xero, as well as the reporting template library. LiveFlow provides solid financial reports for clients and clear, actionable data, eliminating data-entry errors from hard-keying numbers. The initial setup was smooth and easy, with direct training from the team, making me comfortable using the product from Day 1. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice if custom reports saved in QuickBooks Online were able to be directly replicated in LiveFlow, without needing to recreate the report settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use LiveFlow to produce quicker and more flexible reporting using our QBO data. I love that it lives in Google Sheets, just like me, and the implementation was extremely fast. I'm part of a small team where finance handles many roles, so it's nice to reduce accounting spend while gaining faster insight. Setting it up was very easy, which I really appreciated.

A big part of the appeal of LiveFlow was the ability to quickly generate a 13-week cashflow projection. The cashflow projection sheet that we reviewed in the demo was pulled from the templates between the demo and our launch. The implementation team shared it with us with the caveat that it was pulled because it didn't work that well, or was giving inaccurate predictions. I'd like to see the engineering team come back to this tool as we would find it very valuable if it worked correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LiveFlow is most helpful for its seamless QuickBooks integration and ability to automatically pull real-time financial data into Google Sheets. It eliminates manual Excel work, reduces errors, and makes cash flow, P&L, and balance sheet reporting fast and reliable. The biggest upsides are time savings, easy customization, real-time insights, and improved collaboration, making financial reporting much more efficient and transparent.

iveFlow is very powerful, but some advanced features have a learning curve, especially when setting up complex or highly customized reports. Occasional refresh delays can occur with large datasets, and deeper accounting knowledge is helpful to fully utilize all features. However, these are minor compared to the overall efficiency gains it provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
