Employment Hero now integrates with leading accounting platforms

Integrating your HR and payroll platform with your accounting software isn’t just a “nice-to-have” anymore—it’s a critical requirement for any finance team looking to move away from the chaos of spreadsheets and manual data entry.

We are excited to announce that Employment Hero’s accounting integrations are now live. Whether your business runs on the agility of Xero and QuickBooks or leverages the specialized capabilities of Sage Intacct, NetSuite, and Microsoft Dynamics 365, you can now create a seamless, automated bridge between your people and your profits.

Here is a deeper look at how these integrations transform your finance function from a manual cost center into a strategic powerhouse.

The end of “Manual Mapping” fatigue

The traditional month-end process is often a race against time, filled with exported CSVs, manual journal entries, and the inevitable “where did this $0.50 discrepancy come from?” hunt.

By connecting Employment Hero to your accounting platform, you move from manual, disconnected processes to a unified financial ecosystem. Our integrations are built on deep API connections, meaning they speak the same language as your general ledger and there is no manual import or export of data required.

Connecting HR, payroll and finance in one unified ecosystem

1. Sage Intacct

For businesses requiring sophisticated financial insights, our Sage Intacct integration is a game-changer. It eliminates the need for manual file-based downloads by exporting earnings, deductions and liabilities directly into Sage Intacct upon pay run finalization, at a scheduled time or on demand whenever you choose.

You can import accounting tax codes directly from Sage Intacct into your Employment Hero expense categories. This ensures that every reimbursement is automatically coded to the correct “source-of-truth” ledger, making you permanently audit-ready.

2. NetSuite and NetSuite OneWorld

This integration supports NetSuite and NetSuite OneWorld, allowing for real-time payroll synchronization, eliminating manual entries and ensures your payroll data always matches your general ledger, keeping your financial reporting accurate and audit-ready.

By automating API journal exports, you gain near-real-time visibility into your payroll costs without waiting for manual consolidated reports.

• Unified financial ecosystem: Transform payroll from a transaction into a reliable financial data source.
• Reduce reconciliation: Stop spending hours on month-end; automated syncing does the heavy-lifting for you.

3. Xero 

Xero users value clarity and real-time data. This integration is designed to maintain a consistent, live link between your payroll data and your financial ledger.

Automatically import your Chart of Accounts and tax codes from Xero to ensure payroll and expenses are always perfectly aligned. When you choose to sync your journals, the data moves instantly to Xero, eliminating the need for re-keying and ensuring your books reflect your payroll costs the moment the transfer is triggered.

4. QuickBooks Online

For businesses that rely on QuickBooks Online for their accounting needs, our integration focuses on speed, compliance and ease of use.

Experience “one-click” payroll integration. Once connected, you can easily track income and expenses, and stay on top of GST/HST returns. QuickBooks can help you forecast tax liabilities, making the preparation and payment of tax returns a breeze, all while ensuring your payroll journals are synced accurately.

5. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Bridging the gap between payroll and finance is often hardest in legacy or highly structured environments. Our Business Central integration ensures that payroll information is connected and workflows are automated.

Beyond just “matching numbers,” this integration automates the flow of data from the pay run directly to the general ledger. It ensures that your Chart of Accounts and tax codes are always aligned, removing the risk of reporting errors that typically plague manual mapping.

Why this matters for your bottom line

When you move to an integrated model, you aren’t just saving time; you are improving the integrity of your financial data.

1. Accelerated month-end close: What used to take days of manual reconciliation now takes minutes. Automation allows your team to close the books faster and provide stakeholders with reports sooner.
2. Improved audit readiness: By syncing payroll items directly to your accounting software, you ensure that every payroll-related transaction in your ledger is backed by a digital paper trail. This 1:1 alignment ensures all payroll sources are fully accounted for, making audits straightforward and transparent.
3. Real-time financial visibility: You choose how and when your data syncs. Whether you want journals to export automatically upon pay run finalization, at a specific scheduled time, or on-demand whenever you choose, you maintain total control over your general ledger.
