Heartland Payroll to QuickBooks Online: Automated Journal Entry Guide
Heartland Payroll doesn't have a native journal entry integration with QuickBooks Online. After each pay run, bookkeepers managing Heartland clients must manually translate the payroll report into a balanced QBO journal entry — entering gross wages, employee withholdings, employer taxes, and net pay as separate line items.
How PostBooks connects Heartland to QuickBooks Online
- Download your Heartland payroll report. From Heartland Payroll, export the payroll summary or general ledger report as a CSV file for the pay period.
- Upload to PostBooks and map your accounts. PostBooks parses the Heartland CSV and maps each line item to your QuickBooks Online chart of accounts. Set the mapping once and PostBooks applies it every pay run.
- Export or sync to QuickBooks Online. PostBooks generates a balanced journal entry ready for QBO import, or syncs directly via the QBO API.
