Added Xero and QuickBooks Online accounting integrations flows
4 days ago by Gusto Developer Relations
We've launched our new Xero and QuickBooks Online (QBO) accounting integration flows, allowing your customers to seamlessly connect their payroll data with Xero or QBO. These integrations streamline the bookkeeping process by automatically creating balanced journal entries, eliminating manual data entry and reducing accounting errors.
You can check out these new flows using our βTry It Nowβ demo tool.
Features
- Complete OAuth integration: Secure authentication flows for connecting to Xero or QBO accounts with automatic tab management - the flow opens a new tab for Xero or QBO login and closes the tab automatically upon successful authentication.
- Account mapping interface: Interactive flow for mapping Gusto payroll categories to corresponding Xero or QBO chart of accounts, including:
- Wages and salaries
- Tax adjustments
- Benefits
- Employer taxes
- Reimbursements
- Flexible configuration: Customizable settings for journal entry breakdown by department or job.
- Automated payroll sync: Autosync is enabled by default for seamless data transfer. Manual one-click synchronization is also available with status tracking and re-sync capabilities.
- Flow events: New flow event triggered when all account mappings are completed via the flow (see our flow events documentation for implementation details).
