Paychex Payroll to Xero: Automated Journal Entry Guide

Paychex Flex doesn't have a native Xero journal entry integration. If you use Paychex for payroll and Xero for accounting, you're creating the journal entry manually each pay period. PostBooks automates the workflow.

How PostBooks connects Paychex to Xero

  1. Download the Paychex payroll summary. Export from Paychex Flex > Reports > Payroll Summary as CSV.
  2. Upload to PostBooks. PostBooks maps Paychex line items to your Xero chart of accounts.
  3. Export to Xero. PostBooks generates a Xero-compatible manual journal or syncs via the Xero API.
