PaySync reads completed pay run data 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.
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.
Canadian payroll belongs in a Canadian payroll provider. CRA rules, multi-province tax, remittances: that is what those platforms are for, and they do it well. The gap is on the ledger side. The completed pay run still has to become a journal entry in Sage Intacct, and in most finance teams that entry is still typed in by hand.
PaySync closes the gap. It connects to your payroll provider at the API level, 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; it reads the run and writes only to Intacct, through the API, with no CSV round-trips. Keep the payroll platform you have and drop the re-keying.

Common questions
Questions people ask
Can Sage Intacct handle Canadian payroll?
Sage Intacct is a US-first general ledger and does not include native 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 reads 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 connects at the API level to Canadian payroll platforms. If your provider exposes pay run data through an API, we can connect it. Book a demo and we will confirm your setup on the call.
Does Sage Intacct work for Canadian businesses?
Yes, Canadian businesses use Sage Intacct, but it is a US-first platform, so payroll and CRA compliance live in a Canadian payroll provider rather than in Intacct. The core ledger handles multi-currency including CAD, and Canadian companies pair Intacct with a payroll provider, using PaySync to post each completed pay run into Intacct as a balanced journal entry rather than re-keying it.
