Payroll Reconciliation Agent

Reconciles Gusto/ADP runs to QBO journal entries every pay cycle. Replaces a $55k Payroll Specialist.

The Problem

An SMB owner pays $55k/yr to a Payroll Specialist who reconciles each pay cycle: gross-to-net per employee, employer taxes, 401k withholdings, garnishments — all needing to land as the right journal entries in QBO. The role is 95% line-by-line cross-checking — agent territory.

The Outcome

Pay cycle posts in Gusto/ADP → agent pulls the run register → maps every line (gross wages, FICA-EE, FICA-ER, 401k-EE, 401k-ER) to your QBO chart-of-accounts → drafts the journal entry with line-level detail → flags 'Employee X 401k withholding $400 vs plan limit, suspect $50 excess' for review. You approve, journal posts.

Day in the Life
1.
On payroll completion: pulls Gusto/ADP register → maps to QBO accounts via your saved mapping → drafts journal entry
2.
On posting: cross-references payroll-tax liability accounts vs upcoming 941/940 due dates → flags shortfalls 7 days early
3.
Quarterly: drafts 941 prep packet — wages, withholdings, employer taxes — for your tax preparer or CPA, never files autonomously
