Hi, how do i record payroll information from brightpay to quickbooks? thanks

The International version of QuickBooks Online (QBO) currently doesn't have a built-in payroll function. You can create journal entries to record your payroll information from brightpay, finance104.

 

Let's generate a journal entry through the +New button. Then, you can access the template in the Recurring Transactions page from the Gear icon once you're done. Here's how:

  1. Go to the +New button.
  2. Select  Journal Entry.
  3. Under Date, select the paycheque(s) date.
  4. Input Entry # for journal entry (optional).
  5. Enter all the needed information (Debit and Credit accounts, amount, description, name, location, and class).
  6. Click Make Recurring.
  7. Enter the Template Name.
  8. Set Template Type to Unscheduled.
  9. Click Save Template, then Save.

 

To give you an example, kindly refer to this article: Recording payroll transactions manually. It also contains a detailed explanation about the amounts you'll need to input in the journal entry.

 

Moreover, here's an article that'll guide you on how to effectively manage your QBO account: Help articles for QuickBooks Online. It contains details about MTD, banking, accounting, VAT, and reports to name a few.

 

Please let me know if you have other concerns. I'm just around to help.

You may prepare the payroll data in JE and utilize a 3rd party tool to import them in bulk.

The template should be like this
