Service vs Infrastructure
Finaloop replaces your bookkeeper with a managed service that lives outside QuickBooks. Webgility automates the data into your QuickBooks so your bookkeeper can keep doing their job.

Software vs. Service
Finaloop is a managed accounting service. They take over your books and produce financial outputs — a clean P&L, tax-ready financials. Webgility is software. It gives you the infrastructure to produce those outputs yourself, through your existing accountant, in QuickBooks.
- Your accountant works in the system they already know
- Every entry visible and clickable — no support ticket to investigate
- Cancel Webgility: every record stays in QuickBooks
- Exceptions you catch, not ones a service catches for you
- Real-time data — not human-reviewed batches
Control Is the Tradeoff
A managed service means someone else controls the process. When something looks wrong in your P&L, you file a support ticket — you don't fix it. Webgility gives you direct visibility into every entry, every reconciliation, every exception. Your books stay in QuickBooks. If you cancel Webgility tomorrow, every record stays where it is.
Finaloop Replaces Them. Webgility Doesn't.
If you have a CPA, a controller, or a bookkeeper you trust, Finaloop requires you to move off their workflow. Webgility works within QuickBooks — the system your accountant already uses. The reconciliation gets automated. The relationship stays intact.
When Finaloop is the right call
If you want bookkeeping as a done-for-you service — you don't want to manage a bookkeeper, you're fine with your books living outside QuickBooks, you're mostly Shopify-based, and revenue-based pricing feels fair at your current scale — Finaloop is a legitimate choice. It's a different product, not a direct Webgility competitor. If you want your books in QuickBooks, with your existing team reviewing them, Webgility is the fit.

Common questions when comparing Finaloop.
We're moving off Finaloop — how do we get our historical data into QuickBooks?
Most brands moving off Finaloop want their books in QuickBooks with their accountant back in the loop. Webgility's onboarding team handles the chart-of-accounts mapping, the historical reconciliation plan, and a parallel test before anything goes live. Free on every plan.
Does Webgility work with Xero as well as QuickBooks?
Yes. Webgility supports QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, and Xero. Whatever your accountant uses, Webgility posts directly into it — at the order level, with full fee and refund classification.
What happens to data if we cancel Webgility?
All records stay in your QuickBooks. Webgility is a connector — it posts data into your accounting system. Cancel Webgility and every historical entry remains exactly where it was posted. Nothing is held in a proprietary platform.
Finaloop handles Amazon and Shopify — does Webgility cover the same channels?
Webgility covers 70+ platforms — Amazon, Shopify, Walmart, eBay, Etsy, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, TikTok Shop, plus POS systems including Shopify POS, Square, Clover, and Lightspeed. Finaloop is primarily Shopify-centric; multichannel operations typically exceed what the managed model handles efficiently.
