Integrate Payroll classic with your FreshBooks platform

A journal service is a tool that allows you to connect your accounting software with your Payroll classic platform so that you can capture journal entries in your chart of accounts.

If you use FreshBooks for your accounting software and journal service, and Employment Hero for your payroll, you would simply need to connect FreshBooks with your Employment Hero Payroll classic platform via the Journal Service integration feature.

After connecting your FreshBooks and EH Payroll platforms, and setting up your chart of accounts, you can post payroll journals automatically into FreshBooks upon finalising a pay run, eliminating the need for manual data import/exports or CSV uploads. You will also notice with this export feature that we format the data to automatically reflect your FreshBooks reporting layouts.
