  • Create bills or generate journal entries – directly from your payroll data, whichever your accounts already use
  • Choose Employee or Net Pay – pick the format that matches how your finance team already works
  • Refresh data whenever it changes – no need to rebuild the export from scratch

Why connecting payroll and accounting software matters

Payroll doesn’t stop at pay day, it needs to be recorded, reconciled and reflected accurately in your accounts. When payroll and accounting software aren’t connected, that usually means the same figures being typed in twice, with more room for manual error each time.

Connecting your payroll software with QuickBooks helps ensure payroll data flows directly into your accounts, supporting more accurate bookkeeping and reducing the manual administration that sits between processing payroll and closing the books – whether you’re a small business running your own accounts, or an accounting firm managing several clients on online accounting and payroll software.

Ocerli isn’t just for employers, it’s also built for accounting firms managing payroll on behalf of clients too. With the Ocerli and QuickBooks integration, accounting professionals can transfer payroll data directly into each client’s QuickBooks account.
