Security designed for
the data that runs your business

Financial data is more sensitive than most. We built Verde's security from scratch — not bolted on after the fact.

AES-256

Enterprise-grade security

Your data is encrypted at rest and in transit, stored on SOC 2 certified infrastructure — the same security standard enterprises demand.

Encrypted at rest and in transit

Read only

Read-only, always

Verde only requests read permissions from QuickBooks. We cannot transfer, modify, or delete a single transaction — ever.

Secure connection — no passwords stored
Cannot write to or modify QBO data
Revoke access from QBO anytime

Your data stays private

Your financial data is never used to train AI models. It is never shared with third parties. When you leave, your data is permanently deleted.

How it works

Secure from the first click

Connecting Verde to your QuickBooks takes under two minutes. Security is built into every step — not added afterward.

1

You authorize via QuickBooks OAuth 2.0

You're redirected to Intuit's own login page — the same secure protocol your bank uses. Verde never sees, stores, or touches your QBO password. Authentication tokens are encrypted and rotated automatically.

Same protocol as your bank
2

Verde reads your financial data — nothing else

We pull only the reports needed to power Finn: P&L, Balance Sheet, AR aging, and cash flow. We request read-only access. We cannot create, edit, delete, or transfer any QuickBooks record.

Read access only — no write permissions
3

Your data is isolated in your private environment

Financial data for each client is stored in a fully isolated, encrypted environment with row-level security. No Verde client can ever access another client's data — not even partially.

Row-level security isolation
4

You stay in control — always

You can revoke Verde's access directly from your QuickBooks account at any time. When you close your Verde account, all your financial data is permanently deleted. No archives. No backups kept for our benefit.

Full revocation, any time

Transparency

What Verde will never do
with your data

After Bench shut down in December 2024 and Botkeeper closed in early 2026, SMB owners learned a hard lesson: know exactly what your financial software does with your data. Here's ours, plain and simple.

Sell your data

Never. Your financial information is not a product we sell to advertisers, data brokers, or anyone else.

Train AI on your data

Your revenue, expenses, and margins will never be used to train or improve our AI models or any third-party model.

Modify your QuickBooks

Verde is read-only. We cannot create, update, or delete any record in your QuickBooks — period.

Share data across clients

Each Verde client lives in a fully isolated environment. No other client can access your financial data.

Hold your data hostage

Cancel anytime. Your data is permanently deleted on exit. You keep full access to your QuickBooks — it was always yours.

Replace your QuickBooks

Verde reads your existing QBO data. We are not a new platform that owns your books — your source of truth stays exactly where it is.


Common questions

Security questions,
answered plainly

Does Verde store my QuickBooks login credentials?

Never. Verde uses OAuth 2.0 to connect to QuickBooks — the same standard used by banking apps and enterprise software. You authorize through Intuit's own login page. Verde receives a secure access token, not your password. No credentials are stored or cached anywhere on Verde's infrastructure.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

When you cancel, Verde permanently deletes all your financial data from our systems. Your QuickBooks account is unaffected — Verde simply loses access. You can also revoke Verde's access directly from your QuickBooks settings at any time.

Can Verde employees see my financial data?

Access to client financial data is strictly limited by role and requires explicit authorization. Your data is stored in a fully isolated environment — meaning even within Verde's infrastructure, your data is only accessible to systems and people directly serving your account.

Will my data be used to train Verde's AI?

No. Your financial data — your revenue figures, expense breakdowns, margins, and cash position — is never used to train, fine-tune, or improve any AI model. Your proprietary business data improves Verde's analysis of your business only.

What if there's a security incident?

In the unlikely event of a security incident, Verde will notify affected clients within 72 hours with full transparency: what happened, what data was involved, and what steps we're taking to remediate.
