How it connects

Connected in three steps

  1. Pick your region

    In Finrely, open Integrations and find the Zoho Books card. Choose Global / Auto-detect (recommended), Europe (.eu) or Saudi Arabia (.sa).

  2. Authorise on Zoho

    Click Connect. Zoho's own consent screen opens - no API keys or credentials are entered into Finrely. Approve, and you are returned to Finrely.

  3. Confirm the organisation

    If your Zoho login reaches more than one organisation, confirm which one to use. The first sync starts on Finrely's own servers - you can close the tab.

Read-only and secure

Your books stay exactly as they are

  • Every permission Finrely requests from Zoho ends in .READ - there is no write, create, update or delete permission in the request.
  • Nothing is ever written back to Zoho Books. The sync only calls read endpoints.
  • Finrely stores period aggregates derived from your data, not a copy of your ledger.
  • Access tokens are encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM). The decryption key lives only in Finrely's server environment.
  • AI is off until you turn it on: Finrely requires explicit consent before any financial data is sent to a model.

FAQ

Common questions

Does Finrely write to Zoho Books?
No. Every permission Finrely requests from Zoho ends in .READ, and the sync only ever calls read endpoints. Nothing is ever written back to your Zoho Books organisation.
Which Zoho regions are supported?
Global / Auto-detect (recommended), Europe (.eu) and Saudi Arabia (.sa). Auto-detect is right for most accounts: Finrely then routes every later API call to the domain Zoho itself returns for your organisation.
How often does it sync?
Once a day, automatically, and on demand with Refresh data on the Zoho Books card. Zoho's API has a daily ceiling per organisation (1,000 calls on the Zoho Books Free plan, more on paid Zoho plans); if a sync reaches it, Finrely pauses and resumes automatically after Zoho's daily reset.
Is a paid Finrely plan required?
No. Zoho Books is available on every Finrely plan, including Free - no paid plan is required to connect it, run P&L, balance sheet and cash flow reports, or use AI Insights.
