Every Canadian pay run, posted to Sage Intacct
PaySync takes the completed pay run from your Canadian payroll provider and posts it into Sage Intacct as a balanced journal entry, coded to your accounts, departments and classes.
- Read-only against payroll
- Balanced entries
- Preview before anything posts
Payroll belongs in a payroll provider. The journal entry should not be typed by hand.
Sage Intacct does not run Canadian payroll, so payroll lives in a provider built for it. Every pay period, someone on the finance team downloads the register and re-keys the journal entry into Intacct line by line. It is slow, it drifts, and month end is where the mistakes surface.
CRA rules, multi-province tax, remittances: that is what Canadian payroll platforms are for, and they do it well. The gap is on the ledger side. PaySync reads each completed pay run and applies the mapping you set up once: earnings, deductions, taxes and employer costs matched to your Intacct chart of accounts, departments and classes. From that it builds a balanced journal entry and shows you a preview. Nothing posts until you approve it.
The connection is read-only against payroll. PaySync never writes anything back to your payroll provider. Keep the payroll platform you have and drop the re-keying.
The Sage Intacct side is built: mapping to your accounts, departments and classes, and journal posting. The connection to your payroll provider is built with you during onboarding, because every provider exposes pay run data differently.

Questions people ask
Can Sage Intacct handle Canadian payroll?
Sage Intacct does not include Canadian payroll, so Canadian businesses run payroll in a provider built for CRA rules, multi-province tax and remittances. The gap is on the ledger side: every pay period, someone re-keys the payroll journal entry into Intacct by hand. PaySync closes that gap. It takes the completed pay run from your payroll provider and posts a balanced journal entry into Intacct, coded to your accounts, departments and classes, with a preview before anything posts.
How do payroll journal entries get into Sage Intacct?
Without tooling, someone downloads the payroll register each pay period and keys the journal entry into Intacct line by line. PaySync automates that step. You map your provider's earnings, deductions, taxes and employer costs to your Intacct accounts, departments and classes once, and every following run uses the same rules. Each pay period PaySync builds a balanced journal entry, shows you a preview and posts it to Intacct through the API.
Does PaySync change anything in my payroll system?
No. PaySync is read-only against your payroll provider. It reads completed pay runs and writes only to Sage Intacct, and only after you approve the preview.
Which payroll providers does PaySync work with?
PaySync is provider-neutral. It needs a Canadian payroll platform that makes completed pay run data available, by API or export. The connection to your provider is built with you during onboarding, because every provider exposes that data differently. Book a call and we will confirm whether yours can be connected.
Does Sage Intacct work for Canadian businesses?
Yes. Canadian businesses use Sage Intacct. Payroll and CRA compliance sit in a Canadian payroll provider, not in Intacct, and the ledger handles multi-currency including CAD. The step left over is the payroll journal entry, which PaySync is built to post in place of re-keying it.
Still re-keying payroll into Intacct?
