For service-provider firms
For the firm running 50 client churches at once
Aplos Oversight is a login switcher. QBOA is sunsetting Dec 31, 2026. We built the firm operator console that should have existed years ago — one place to manage every client's close, AP queue, reconciliations, and packet delivery.

The Aplos+QBOA problem
Why firm work today is so hard
50 separate logins
On Aplos Oversight, you switch between client tenants one at a time. Capacity planning lives in a spreadsheet.
No batch operations
Reclassify a transaction across 10 client books? Manual. Push a chart-of-accounts update across the firm? Manual.
No SCIM
Onboard a new bookkeeper into 80 client accounts? Manual. Offboard them when they leave? Manual. And risky.
No firm SLA
When the platform goes down, your client invoices are still due Friday. Nobody in the church vertical publishes credits.
What you get
The firm operator console
Cross-client status grid
Every client book on one screen: open period, last reconciliation, open AP, pending packet, payroll status. Sortable, filterable, ownable.
Bookkeeper assignment
Who owns which books, by role-focus (AP / payroll / contributions / reviewer). Capacity bands surface workload imbalance.
Batch reclassification
QBOA-style accountant tools. Reclassify, write-off, void, restate across selected clients with a per-action audit log.
SCIM 2.0 provisioning
Provision new bookkeepers from Okta or Google Workspace; their access to every assigned client lights up automatically.
White-label statements
Annual donor statements branded for the client church, generated and delivered from your firm's console.
Migration engineers
Dedicated engineering help to move 20+ client books from Aplos or QBO in parallel. Discovery to cutover in weeks, not quarters.
The pricing wedge
50 clients, side-by-side
steepl Firm
~$16,188/yr
$399/mo base + 50 × $19/mo active books
Aplos at 50 clients
~$77,400/yr
50 × Aplos Core ($129/mo). No firm console.
Per Aplos public pricing accessed 2026-05-20. Even with a generous 25% partner discount the comparison stays favorable by >3×. The dollar savings buy back firm capacity from login-switching and reclassification mechanics.
Run a pilot with one client book
Pick a smaller client. We import their last fiscal year from Aplos or QBO and run the next monthly close in parallel. You decide if it stays.
