As we round the corner into busy season, efficiency becomes the name of the game for bookkeepers everywhere (even more so than usual!)… and finding ways to save time is essential.

With that in mind, let’s cut the preamble and get right to it: here are three ways Payworks can help you start the new year on the right foot!

  1. Harness the power of integrations

One of the biggest time-savers is connecting your bookkeeping software with your other favourite business platforms (who, us?). Integrations with QuickBooks Online and Xero ensure that journal entry data flows seamlessly from Payworks with just one click (yes, really!). This reduces manual data entry, minimizes errors, and keeps records up to date. Imagine payroll data syncing automatically with your books… no more late nights reconciling spreadsheets!

  1. Access up-to-date resources for smoother operations

We know that payroll is often one of the most complex and time-consuming tasks in your day. Our Canadian Payroll Guide can help you navigate tax credits, compliance requirements, and special payments with confidence. Having clear, step-by-step resources like this at hand not only saves time but also reduces the risk of costly mistakes.

  1. Provide better insights through smarter reporting

Reporting doesn’t have to be a headache! Through Payworks, you’ve got access to a comprehensive library of standard report options – from recent data to historical reports (including year-end!). Didn’t find exactly what you were looking for? You can also try the user-friendly custom report builder.

With National Bookkeeping Week right around the corner, now’s the perfect time to give yourself a pat on the back for the critical role you play in helping keep your clients’ businesses running smoothly! It’s also a reminder to invest in tools and practices that make your job easier.
