Why Connect Jobber to Reckon?

Jobber uses a REST + Webhook API while Reckon uses REST, requiring careful middleware to translate data formats between the two platforms

Site crews rely on Jobber while the office uses Reckon, so neither team sees the full picture until end of day

No single source of truth when contacts live in two disconnected tools, so staff second-guess which system has the correct information

Reporting across Jobber and Reckon requires painful manual exports and spreadsheet merges

Clients in Jobber and contacts in Reckon drift out of sync, leading to outdated details on invoices, emails, and reports

Job scheduling in Jobber and invoicing in Reckon are disconnected, delaying payments for completed work

Invoice and payment data is re-entered between Jobber and Reckon manually, doubling the work and risking GST errors at month-end

How We Help

With 12+ helping mid-market Australian businesses, we have built dozens of integrations between industry tools and accounting & finance platforms. Connecting Jobber to Reckon is a proven workflow we deploy in 2 weeks. On the technical side, Jobber uses a REST + Webhook API with OAuth authentication, and Reckon authenticates via OAuth, which our team handles as part of the build.

Jobber to Reckon Use Cases

1

Scheduled reconciliation between Jobber and Reckon

A daily or weekly reconciliation job compares records across both platforms, flags discrepancies, and generates a mismatch report. Catches sync gaps before they become accounting headaches.

2

Automated error handling and retry for Jobber/Reckon sync

When a sync between Jobber and Reckon fails due to a rate limit, network issue, or validation error, the integration retries automatically with exponential backoff. Your team is alerted only when intervention is genuinely needed.

3

Auto-generate Reckon invoices from Jobber

When jobs are completed in Jobber, an invoice is automatically created in Reckon with the correct contact, line items, GST rates, and payment terms. Eliminates the delay between finishing work and sending the invoice.

4

Sync Jobber clients to Reckon contacts

When a client is created or updated in Jobber, the corresponding contact record in Reckon is automatically created or updated. Contact details, company associations, and custom fields are all mapped.
