Payroll and accounting as one system

ZentroBooks is fully integrated with ZentroPayroll.

The connection, account mapping, balanced journal, delivery status, reconciliation, and reversal workflow are built directly into the payroll experience.

Close payroll into clean books.

ZentroPayroll carries the financial result of each settled payroll into a controlled ZentroBooks workflow—without exports, duplicate data entry, or unexplained journal totals.

01

Verified connection

Confirm the organization and its active accounts before any posting workflow becomes available.

02

Human-approved mapping

Map ten payroll categories to real ledger accounts, with suggestions that never become approvals on their own.

03

Balanced by contract

Every journal must balance to the cent and retain the source payroll, payday, account, and control totals.

ZentroBooks payroll account mapping showing wages, payroll taxes, benefits, withholdings, and net pay

Map once. Review deliberately. Reuse safely.

ZentroPayroll imports active ZentroBooks accounts and keeps every payroll category blocked until its mapping is complete and approved.

  • Employee and contractor expenses
  • Employer tax and benefit expenses
  • Employee tax and benefit liabilities
  • Post-tax deductions and employer liabilities
  • Payroll clearing and cash

From connection to reconciliation.

Each stage creates a clear control point, so accounting automation begins only when the organization, mappings, payroll, and authorization are ready.

01

Connect

Verify the correct ZentroBooks organization and securely store its API credential.

02

Import accounts

Load the organization’s active chart of accounts directly into the mapping workspace.

03

Approve mappings

Require a person to approve every payroll category before automatic posting can be enabled.

04

Post after settlement

Create one balanced, traceable journal only after the source payroll reaches settlement.

05

Reconcile

Track delivery, confirm the journal in ZentroBooks, and preserve retry and reversal history.

A journal your accountant can follow.

Stable duplicate protection keeps the same payroll from posting twice. Delivery attempts, provider references, reconciliation state, and reasoned reversals remain tied to the source payroll.

Production control remains explicit.

The integration is fully implemented in the product. Automatic posting is activated per organization only after the ZentroBooks connection is verified, every required mapping is approved, and the production safety gate is enabled.
