Payroll GL Mapping Tool

Why This Matters

Payroll-to-GL reconciliation is one of the most tedious — and error-prone — tasks in a CPA practice. It doesn't have to be.

Every payroll platform outputs data differently. Gusto's categories don't match ADP's. Paycom's export format is different from QuickBooks'. When you have 20 clients on five different platforms, the monthly reconciliation becomes a manual, repetitive exercise that consumes hours and introduces risk.

Paycom's GL Concierge is considered the best GL mapping tool in the payroll industry — infinite account mapping, multi-EIN consolidation, drag-and-drop. It only works for Paycom clients.

💡 Your moment: This tool lets you build and save a mapping template for each client — regardless of their payroll platform — and generate a clean, export-ready journal entry in minutes. The accountant who systematizes this process for their practice saves 2–4 hours per month per client. At 20 clients, that's time you're currently spending on reconciliation that could be spent on advisory work that actually differentiates you.

Step 3 — Map Categories to GL Accounts

Enter the GL account number or name for each payroll category. Leave blank to exclude from export.
