You can integrate Employment Hero Payroll with Access Financials to export Employment Hero Payroll details to the Access Financials general Ledger. Once your Access Financials account is connected, you simply need to map your chart of accounts and then export Employment Hero Payroll journal to the general ledger when you finalise your pay run.

- Click Default Accounts and you will see a list of transaction types that need to be mapped to an Access Financials file. The Access Financials accounts appear in the drop down list next to the transaction types. You can select the same account for multiple transaction types.
- Once you have completed all the mappings, you are now ready to export a journal.
If you add any extra accounts to your Access Financials chart of accounts, you can click on Import accounts and select these accounts so that they appear in your drop down lists in the account mappings.
Further information on location specific account mapping can be found in the Mapping GL Accounts support article.
