PaySync: Canadian payroll for Intacct

Canadian payroll for Sage Intacct, kept current with the CRA

PaySync pulls approved timesheets from Sage Intacct, lets you verify and calculate the run, posts payroll back to Intacct, and generates pay stubs, cheques, and EFT files. Tax tables follow the latest CRA-published records.

Pulls from Intacct, posts back to Intacct. Stubs, cheques, EFT. CRA-current.

Sage Intacct is a US-first ledger with no native Canadian payroll. So Canadian businesses end up running payroll in a separate system, then re-keying the results back into Intacct by hand, and hoping the tax tables they're working from are still current after a mid-year CRA change.

Payroll for a Canadian business has to handle CRA rules, multi-province tax, and remittances that a US-first platform was never built for. Intacct handles the ledger and multi-currency including CAD, but the payroll calculation itself needs a tool built for Canadian requirements. PaySync is that tool, and it lives against Intacct rather than beside it.

The flow stays inside one loop. PaySync pulls approved employee timesheets from Intacct, so the hours you pay on are the hours your team already signed off. A payroll administrator verifies and calculates the run, and once it's approved PaySync posts the payroll back to Intacct. There's no exporting a report from one system and typing it into another.

At the end of the run you get what employees and the bank need: printable pay stubs, cheques, and EFT files formatted for bank upload. The tax calculations follow the latest CRA-published records, so deductions stay correct through mid-year tax changes instead of drifting until someone notices.

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 need an integrated payroll application to handle CRA rules, multi-province tax, and remittances. PaySync is a Canadian payroll workspace built for Sage Intacct: it pulls approved timesheets from Intacct, lets an administrator verify and calculate the run, posts approved payroll back to Intacct, and generates pay stubs, cheques, and EFT files. Its tax calculations follow the latest CRA-published records, so deductions stay current through mid-year tax changes.

How do you generate EFT files for Canadian payroll?

An EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) file is a formatted text file your bank reads to pay employees directly into their accounts, and it must match your bank's required format. PaySync generates EFT files formatted for bank upload as part of the pay run, alongside printable pay stubs and cheques, so you can pay employees electronically without manually building the file.

Does Sage Intacct work for Canadian businesses?

Yes, Canadian businesses use Sage Intacct, but it is a US-first platform, so payroll, CRA tax compliance, and remittances need Canadian-specific tooling. The core ledger handles multi-currency including CAD, and Canadian companies pair it with tools built for Canadian requirements, such as PaySync for payroll with CRA-current tax tables, EFT files, pay stubs, and cheques.

Does PaySync keep up with CRA tax changes?

Yes. PaySync's tax calculations follow the latest CRA-published records, so when the CRA updates tax figures, including mid-year, the deductions in your run stay current rather than drifting from an out-of-date table.

How does PaySync connect to Sage Intacct?

PaySync works inside Intacct's data loop. It pulls approved employee timesheets from Intacct to drive the pay run, and once the run is verified and calculated it posts the payroll back into Intacct. That removes the export-and-re-key step that happens when payroll lives in a fully separate system.
