I suggest that you create your new table and set the key field to be the company name. Initialize that table by running a summary report on your QuickBooks connected table and use the option to copy these to another table.

Then on that table create a field called [Company Exists?]  as a checkbox field with a formula of true.  Relationship from your company table back down to the QuickBooks table based on the company field and then look up that field for [Company Exists?] 

Then Pipeline to add a record to the companies table when I record is created or edited in the QuickBooks table and the company does not exist.

Thank you for the help Mark,
unfortunately this approach does not work.
Update, Create record trigger in the pipeline does not recognize 'Refresh Data' process in the QuickBase.

    It can trigger when records are edited or added.  That's all that the Refresh process does, edit, add and delete records.
