New: Save time on accounting
Accounting is complex. It’s even more tricky when your business distributes fresh food—something impossible to perfectly predict. And for a food hub purchasing from five, ten, fifteen or more different farmers? That’s a lot to account for.
To help you keep up with these purchases, Local Food Marketplace offers an integration with QuickBooks Online (QBO). This feature has already helped our customers manage accounts receivable in QBO. And we are excited to let you know that we just added a helpful new feature to this integration.
Last week we told you about how a food hub can easily pay their producers through LFM’s software. From this same place, you can also create QBO bills. That’s right, quickly manage accounts payable without any messy data exports or manual data entry—saving your team hours of time every week.
Spend less time accounting, and more time growing.

- Read about how LFM helps one food hub work with over 50 producers:
- “What helps is that LFM is organized in a way that as producers, we list inventory ourselves, set prices, and describe our own products. We maintain the transparency of sourcing—you can see where every product comes from and customers value that.” –Kate Donald, Stout Oak Farm
