APS’ QuickBooks Integration Enhances Business Efficiency

APS is pleased to announce the launch of our QuickBooks Online (QBO) Integration, which syncs General Ledger data to save time and eliminate manual data entry.

Integrating key business systems is not just a convenience—it’s a necessity. Efficiently managing financial and payroll data is crucial for any organization to make informed business decisions. At APS, we understand the importance of seamless data integration in streamlining business processes. That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of our QuickBooks Online (QBO) integration.

The APS and QuickBooks Online integration automates the General Ledger data to save time and eliminate manual data entry. In this blog, we’ll discuss how the cloud-based QuickBooks Online integration works and how it solves the challenges of unifying payroll and finance data.

Why Develop the QuickBooks Online Integration?

At APS, our focus is on enhancing the customer experience. We seek feedback regularly to understand and address our clients’ needs. A recurring theme emerged from these conversations: many of our small business customers use QuickBooks Online as their primary accounting software but struggle with issues like:

These types of gaps often lead to inaccuracies in financial reporting and unnecessary complications in managing payroll information.

Recognizing these challenges, we developed our QuickBooks Online (QBO) integration as part of our ongoing mission to make payroll and HR easier for our clients.

How Does the QuickBooks Online Integration Work?

With the QBO integration, companies can connect their QuickBooks Online accounts in APS in minutes. Once connected, users can view their chart of accounts in the following sections:

Companies will then have configuration options they can choose from:

Once the integration is configured, businesses can sync payroll data to QuickBooks by either check date or payroll batch date. Our QuickBooks integration brings payroll and finance data together in the General Ledger. HR managers save valuable time with accurate, automated data management.

QuickBooks GL Preview

Users can preview the QuickBooks General Ledger in APS OnLine for the desired check date by selecting Preview. If the GL is out of balance, an error message detailing the Debits total against the Credits total will appear. This functionality allows the user to verify the setup and mapping of accounts with QuickBooks and view any errors if something isn’t mapped.

After previewing the General Ledger data with no errors, it’s time to sync it to QuickBooks. A successful confirmation pop-up will appear, validating the submission.
