What is Akika Labs?
Akika Labs provides encrypted backups and restores, company-to-company copy, and CSV/Excel import tools for QuickBooks Online.
Who is Akika Labs for?
Akika Labs is built for QuickBooks Online accountants, bookkeepers, and small businesses that need reliable recovery after mistakes, sync issues, or deletions.
Does Akika Labs support QuickBooks Desktop?
No. Akika Labs supports QuickBooks Online only (not QuickBooks Desktop).
Do I need QuickBooks Online Advanced to back up my company?
No. Intuit’s built-in Backup and Restore is limited to QuickBooks Online Advanced and Intuit Enterprise Suite, but Akika works on Simple Start, Essentials, Plus, and Advanced through the QuickBooks API. See how to back up QuickBooks Online on every plan.
Can I restore a single invoice or transaction?
Yes. Akika Labs supports granular restore so you can recover individual records when only part of your data is affected.
Will a restore overwrite existing records automatically?
No. Akika Labs does not overwrite records without your approval. If QuickBooks rejects a change during restore, Akika shows which step failed and which steps were skipped so you can review and retry.
How often are backups taken?
Backups run automatically on a schedule and can also be triggered on-demand. The exact cadence follows your subscription plan.
What data do you back up?
Akika Labs backs up the QuickBooks Online objects exposed by the official APIs. For the full list, see QuickBooks Online backup coverage.
How do restores work?
Akika Labs restores by writing data back into QuickBooks Online using the official APIs, respecting permissions and QuickBooks constraints. If QuickBooks rejects a change, Akika records the failure and shows it in restore status.
What makes Akika Labs different from other QuickBooks backup tools?
Akika Labs focuses on transaction-level (granular) and point-in-time restores, so you can recover precisely what changed instead of relying only on broad rollbacks.
Is Akika Labs affiliated with Intuit or QuickBooks?
No. Akika Labs is an independent product and is not affiliated with Intuit or QuickBooks.
How much does Akika Labs cost?
The Standard plan costs $9.99 per company per month, includes Backup & Restore and Import, and has a 7-day free trial. Company Copy is a separate one-time purchase with a quote based on your copy plan. See pricing.
Can I copy one QuickBooks Online company to another?
Company Copy moves supported records between connected QuickBooks Online companies. Both companies must use the same country edition and home currency. Review the compatibility checks, exclusions, and quote before approving the copy. Explore Company Copy.
Can I import Excel or CSV files into QuickBooks Online?
Import accepts CSV files, Excel workbooks, and pasted rows. Choose a supported record type, match your columns, review references and validation findings, then approve the import after live company checks. Explore CSV and Excel Import.
Can Akika recover data deleted before I connected it?
Recovery requires a backup that captured the relevant record before it changed or was deleted. Starting a subscription does not recreate missing backup history. If no suitable backup exists, use QuickBooks audit-log details for manual recovery where available. Read the recovery walkthrough.
How do I get started?
Choose Backup & Restore, Company Copy, or Import, then connect your QuickBooks Online company. Copy requires a source and destination company. Review the plan and any requirements before approving changes.
