Download Paychex Payroll Data into QuickBooks With This Tool

If you have grown tired of manually entering your Paychex payroll data into QuickBooks each pay period, their General Ledger Reporting Service may be the solution.

According to information on the Paychex web site, this solution is part of their Paychex Online service, so using that service looks to be a prerequisite.

You can get a demo or sit in on a web seminar for their General Ledger Reporting Service via links on the site.

If I recall correctly, there is a small monthly fee that is charged for the use of this service. Maybe with some careful negotiation, you can get them to reduce or eliminate that fee? In any event, this software should allow you to work on more productive tasks than rekeying your Paychex payroll data into QuickBooks.

Are you currently using this Paychex service? Please post a comment to let our readers know how it is working out for you - thanks!

Hi Lisa:

Best bet would be to check in directly with Paychex about their reporting service working with QuickBooks Online.

Does the General Ledger Reporting Service work with QuickBooks online?

This is one helpful tool. Doing manual work is a very tedious job and using this tool would help one finish transferring data faster. But I have the same question as Natalia, is the result of the tool 100% accurate? Would there be no mistakes? Or is there a need to manually check what was done?

This is actually one great solution which will help things easier for HR people. I have one question though, will this tool give us 100% accuracy when we generate report?

Hi

Wow this sounds like a fantastic module which will help a lot of people.

Just out of curiosity, will this module work on all versions of PayChex software or are there limitations?

Best,

Thanks for the opportunity to clarify.

Paychex provides a number of secure, web-based services, including General Ledger Reporting. Paychex Online Payroll and Paychex Online Reports are two other popular web-based services. Each one of these online services is independent of the other, meaning a client can sign up for just one or any combination (i.e. a client can use our General Ledger Reporting Service without using online payroll or our online reports service).

Hi Michele:

Thanks for the updated information.

Curious - why does your web site indicate this is a requirement?

"General Ledger Reporting Service is part of Paychex Online, a group of secure, Web-based services that help you manage important aspects of your payroll."

Anything you can do to clarify this for readers of this post would be great.

This is Michele from Paychex. A Paychex client can take advantage of the General Ledger Reporting Service regardless of how payroll information is provided to us (call, fax, online). The General Ledger Reporting Service is not exclusive to our clients completing payroll online.
