How to Record Rippling Payroll in QuickBooks Online

Rippling has a QBO integration but it syncs at the transaction level. For bookkeepers who need a single balanced journal entry per pay run, the manual approach gives you more control.

Export the Rippling payroll report

In Rippling, go to Payroll > Reports and export the Payroll Journal or Payroll Summary for the pay period.

Map Rippling to QBO accounts

  • Gross Earnings → Wages & Salaries Expense (debit)
  • Employer Taxes → Payroll Tax Expense (debit)
  • Federal/State Withholding → respective Payable accounts (credit)
  • Employee FICA → FICA Payable (credit)
  • Employer FICA, FUTA, SUTA → respective Payable accounts (credit)
  • Net Pay → Net Payroll Payable (credit)

Create the QBO journal entry
