Bookkeeping and Payroll Management FAQs
WHAT DOES PAYROLL PRACTICE AND MANAGEMENT INVOLVE?
Payroll processors make sure employees are paid on time and at the correct rate. They
arrange to withhold and process payroll-related taxes and other expenses such as insurance
or retirement savings. And they resolve pay issues and inquiries. Payroll managers
keep an organization in compliance with federal, state and local tax regulations and
ensure that all payroll reporting is timely and accurate.
HOW ARE BOOKKEEPING AND PAYROLL RELATED?
Bookkeepers serve on the front lines of a person, company or organization's financial
health. Payroll is a key aspect of an organization’s finances, so bookkeepers are
often tasked with handling both. Strong bookkeepers set up, deploy and manage systems
that record the flow of funds into (revenue) and out of (payroll and expenses) an
entity's accounts.
WHY DO BOOKKEEPERS NEED QUICKBOOKS?
QuickBooks® has replaced the manual entry functions of traditional bookkeeping. However,
the organization, reporting and use of financial data still rely heavily on human
input and processing. Knowing how to automate your bookkeeping practice with QuickBooks
is an important aspect to staying competitive in today’s job market.
