Wagepoint Payroll + Xero

Wagepoint + Xero

The Wagepoint + Xero integration is designed to save time, reduce errors, and simplify the way you manage payroll and accounting. With seamless data syncing between the two platforms, you’ll have everything you need to pay your people and manage your books, easily.

Here’s what you can expect from the integration: Automatic Data Syncing: Wagepoint automatically exports payroll transactions, including wages, taxes, deductions, and benefits, directly into Xero. This creates journal entries that eliminate manual data entry and reduce the risk of errors. Subscription invoices for Wagepoint are also sent to Xero, so your billing records are always up to date.

Automatic Chart of Accounts Mapping: Save time during setup with automatic chart of accounts mapping. You can still make tweaks manually afterwards! This feature streamlines the integration process and gets you up and running quickly.

Department-Level Expense Mapping & Tracking Categories: Wagepoint offers flexible mapping options, allowing you to assign payroll expenses and liabilities to specific accounts. You can even map transactions to categories like Wages & Earning Expenses, Wages & Earnings Liabilities, and Employee Benefit Expenses for more detailed tracking. Custom mapping for all remaining expense and liability categories is coming in early 2025.

Real-Time Cash Flow Visibility: By connecting Wagepoint to Xero, you gain a real-time view of your cash flow. This ensures you’re always prepared for payroll runs and helps streamline bank reconciliations.

Scalability: Whether you’re managing payroll for a handful of employees or a growing team, the integration scales with your needs. Features like department-level mapping and automated workflows make it easy to stay organized as your business grows. In Wagepoint, you’ll save time as you grow with features like employee self-onboarding, bulk updates and grid view to enter payroll data.

Built-In Compliance: The integration is built specifically for Canadian small businesses, helping you meet federal and provincial payroll regulations with ease.

Caring Customer Support: Both Xero and Wagepoint are customer-obsessed, and offer support from friendly CS teams that truly care about helping businesses succeed.

Note: Manual journal exports aren’t supported, making this integration unsuitable for users on the Xero Partner Edition.

Very User-Friendly and Easy to Use

I use both Wagepoint 1.0 and 2.0 daily and I greatly appreciate how straight forward it is use, even when I need to do more complicated payrolls. Their support team is stellar and they go above and beyond to help solve any issues that may come up. They are willing to discuss back and forth if I have a more complicated ask and they reach out to the appropriate people if they are not sure of the answer. Finally, the year-end preparation is the most organized, straight-forward and efficient that I have dealt with and I have dealt with quite a few different payroll platforms.

Streamlined Year-End and Seamless Integration

Wagepoint continues to stand out as a payroll solution that simplifies complex processes, especially during year-end. The platform makes it remarkably easy to review year-end data and release T4s directly to the CRA, removing the stress and manual effort typically associated with compliance reporting. One of the most impressive features is the flexibility to onboard clients mid-year. This capability is invaluable for firms that cannot dedicate time in January for transitions. Wagepoint’s design ensures that moving clients onto the platform is smooth and efficient, without disrupting workflows. Additionally, the integration with Xero is a game-changer. It allows payroll data to flow seamlessly into accounting, reducing duplication and errors. With this integration, the process becomes as simple as reviewing the data and publishing, saving significant time and effort. Combined with its accurate calculations and easy T4 editing for items like Registered Pension Plans, Wagepoint delivers a reliable, user-friendly experience that minimizes errors and maximizes efficiency. For businesses and accounting professionals, it’s a solution that truly simplifies payroll management.

Wagepoint Sets the Standard for Payroll Excellence

As a Wagepoint Advocate and long-time partner, I can confidently say Wagepoint delivers exceptional value to small businesses. The automation, Xero integration in 2.0, and accuracy are consistently reliable, and the team behind the software goes above and beyond to support both us and our clients. They are continually improving 2.0 so it can perform the same tasks as 1.0 only better! Wagepoint isn’t just payroll software, it’s a true partner in building better businesses. I Highly recommended!
