Hi all - Apologies up front, I am an IT Director and not an accounting person.
I've got a notice that our "Quickbooks Payroll Annual Enhanced" is going to automatically renew this month, and I am questioning whether we should be renewing this - and whether it is being used at all.
We have 6 users in Quickbooks Enterprise Contractor, we have a 3rd party Project Management system (Buildertrend) where our employee time gets entered and syncs to Quickbooks through a Quickbooks Web App sync. This data is then sent to our 3rd party HR/Payroll company (Paylocity) who processes the payroll and makes the direct deposits, etc.
According to the Quickbooks website and documentation regarding Quickbooks Enterprise, it includes:
- Built-in Payroll
- - Payroll** is already fully integrated—no separate purchase required.
- - Easily prepare, file, and send W-2s and 1099s.*
- - Quickly pay employees with checks, direct deposit,* or both.
- - NEW! Offer your team a 401(k) retirement plan through Guideline that's fully integrated with QuickBooks.*
- - NEW! Improve administrator productivity with detailed employee profile information available in a single Employee Center.*
Most of this is already being provided by Paylocity... but that's a LOT of asterisks.
So, is there anything about our situation that causes us to have a need for "Quickbooks Payroll Annual Enhanced", or are we just spending $850/year for nothing?
