Launching integration with Xero

We’ve been testing PaymentEvolution Payroll integration with Xero for some time now but today, we’re officially launching the service for all existing and new clients. We’re excited about this integration – bringing full fledged Canadian payroll services to the online bookkeeping tools from Xero.

If you haven’t tried Xero – check it out – there’s a great free trial and the service provides a comprehensive way to manage your business finances, invoices and ledger. And, of course, now you get your Canadian payroll needs integrated too!

We have a good “getting started” guide posted in our community – http://help.paymentevolution.com/entries/22143483-xero-online-accounting-integration. The setup process is straight forward essentially creating a connection between the services so we can post your payroll transactions to Xero. These transactions will show as a draft invoice which you can approve and commit to your Xero ledger. It’s simple and takes just a few minutes to setup.

Integration services are normally available to our clients on a paid plan but existing and new clients who sign up before Feb 1 2012 will receive Xero integration at no additional cost (even if you are on a free plan). You will be “grandfathered” and will always have this integration available to you. Did someone say free? YES – it’s free!

Canadians now have access to the some of the best cloud-based apps to run their businesses – full-featured online accounting from the wonderful folks at Xero and simple to use, enterprise-class payroll from PaymentEvolution.
