## Transform technical field names into professional headers using Coefficient

[Coefficient](https://coefficient.io/) provides automatic field mapping that converts [QuickBooks](https://coefficient.io/integrations-excel/QuickBooks) technical terminology into board-ready headers during import. You specify professional names once, and they apply consistently across all future data refreshes.

### How to make it work

**Step 1. Set up custom header mapping during QuickBooks import.**  
When importing QuickBooks data, specify professional headers for each field. Transform “TxnDate” to “Transaction Date,” “FullName” to “Customer Name,” and “TotalAmt” to “Total Revenue” directly in the import interface.

**Step 2. Create reusable mapping templates for consistency.**  
Save your field mapping configurations as templates you can apply to future imports. Common transformations like “A/R” to “Accounts Receivable” and “COGS” to “Cost of Goods Sold” become standard across all your [QuickBooks](https://coefficient.io/integrations-google-sheets/QuickBooks) reports.

**Step 3. Apply executive-appropriate terminology standards.**  
Establish professional naming conventions that work across all board reports. Convert technical abbreviations to full terms, use title case formatting, and ensure terminology matches your organization’s executive communication style.

**Step 4. Automate header consistency across all reports.**  
Schedule automatic refreshes that maintain your professional header mapping. Every board report uses consistent, executive-appropriate terminology regardless of who prepares it or when it’s generated.
