QuickBooks Payroll
We’re integrating with QuickBooks Payroll to automatically transform payroll data into intelligent workflows that handle everything from expense approvals to tax compliance. When you run payroll, add employees, or process timesheets in QuickBooks, Tallyfy orchestrates all the downstream processes - ensuring accurate financials, proper approvals, and complete compliance.
QuickBooks Payroll processes millions of paychecks, but payroll is just the start of numerous financial workflows. Every pay run needs accounting entries, tax filings, and benefit reconciliations. Every new employee triggers onboarding tasks across departments.
Without integration, your team manually bridges QuickBooks with other systems - exporting reports, copying data, and chasing approvals. Our integration makes QuickBooks data automatically flow into structured workflows that ensure accuracy and compliance.
Transform payroll from scramble to smooth operation:
- Pre-Payroll Review: Launch timesheet approval workflows before processing
- Exception Management: Route overtime, bonuses, and adjustments for approval
- Post-Payroll Reconciliation: Automate journal entries and department allocations
- Tax Compliance: Trigger filing reminders and payment workflows
Connect QuickBooks employee events to workflows:
- New Hire Onboarding: Pull employee data to launch comprehensive onboarding
- Contractor Management: 1099 setup, approval, and compliance workflows
- Termination Processing: Final pay calculations and exit workflows
- Year-End Processes: W-2/1099 distribution and corrections
Leverage QuickBooks data for financial processes:
- Expense Management: Route employee expenses through approval chains
- Cash Flow Planning: Trigger alerts when payroll impacts cash position
- Budget Tracking: Monitor labor costs against departmental budgets
- Audit Preparation: Maintain documentation for payroll audits
Direct integration with OAuth 2.0:
// Example: Trigger workflow after payroll runconst handlePayrollComplete = async (payrollData) => { // Get payroll details from QuickBooks const paycheck = await quickbooksAPI.getPaycheck(payrollData.paycheckId);
// Create accounting reconciliation workflow const workflow = await fetch('https://api.tallyfy.com/v1/workflows', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_TALLYFY_KEY', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify({ template_id: 'payroll_reconciliation', name: `Payroll - ${paycheck.payDate}`, data: { pay_date: paycheck.payDate, employee: paycheck.employee.displayName,
// Earnings breakdown regular_hours: paycheck.earnings.regular.hours, regular_amount: paycheck.earnings.regular.amount, overtime_hours: paycheck.earnings.overtime?.hours || 0, overtime_amount: paycheck.earnings.overtime?.amount || 0,
// Deductions federal_tax: paycheck.deductions.federalTax, state_tax: paycheck.deductions.stateTax, benefits: paycheck.deductions.benefits,
// Employer costs employer_taxes: paycheck.employerTaxes, employer_benefits: paycheck.employerBenefits,
// Accounting department: paycheck.class, location: paycheck.location, journal_entry_required: true } }) });
return workflow.json();};
Set up real-time event notifications:
// Configure webhook endpointapp.post('/webhooks/quickbooks', async (req, res) => { const notification = req.body;
for (const event of notification.eventNotifications) { if (event.dataChangeEvent.entities[0].name === 'Employee') { // New employee added await createOnboardingWorkflow(event.dataChangeEvent.entities[0].id); } else if (event.dataChangeEvent.entities[0].name === 'Paycheck') { // Payroll processed await createReconciliationWorkflow(event.dataChangeEvent.entities[0].id); } }
res.status(200).send('OK');});
