Paychex Introduces Simple and Easy-to-Use QuickBooks® Online Data Integration

The new integration allows users to quickly and easily connect data from the Paychex GLS, so it flows directly into their QuickBooks Online accounting package through a convenient “Link and Sync” tool in Paychex GLS. Through the integration, users can post payroll entries to their QuickBooks journal entry in just seconds, helping to save time and reduce costly errors.

To ensure a smooth and easy setup, a Paychex General Ledger specialist works with users to complete the setup process. Once that is complete, the flow of data begins and users benefit from the following:

• Convenience. After setup, with each payroll processed, payroll transactions flow into the user’s QuickBooks Online journal entry, using an API tailored to Intuit. Delivering an accurate and secure exchange of information, the application then authenticates the data so that it flows seamlessly from the Paychex GLS to QuickBooks Online.
• Time savings. With some businesses processing payroll as many as 52 times a year, the time savings from the data synchronization can be significant – eliminating the need to manually generate an export of the general ledger file from Paychex Flex, then downloading the data to QuickBooks each pay period. This process is now fully automated to maximize the efficiency of shared customers.
• Dedicated support. In addition to the efficiencies gained from real-time data integration, live phone support is available from a Paychex GLS specialist.

Barb Kapinos, a bookkeeper with Boyd Andrew Management Services in Helena, Montana, is already realizing the efficiencies. “I like that I don’t have to enter all that payroll. It just comes in and it’s right there. It’s so nice. That’s a big time-saver,” said Kapinos.
