Are you managing payroll, HR, and accounting in separate systems? You’re not alone, but you’re likely spending more time on admin than you need to. As your business grows siloed systems may mean duplicate data entry, reporting headaches and a higher risk of errors.
That’s where integrated payroll systems come in, not just to streamline processes, but to give you the flexibility to choose the tools that are best suited to your business. Rather than being locked into an all-in-one platform that tries to do everything a best-of-breed approach lets you integrate expert solutions in payroll, HR and accounting, so you get the best of everything, without compromise. Let’s explore why integration is such a game-changer and how iPayroll makes it simple for Kiwi businesses.
Payroll impacts more than just your finance team. It connects directly to HR, accounting, compliance, and your employees' experience. When these systems operate in isolation, inefficiencies and gaps emerge, wasting time and increasing risk.
Integrating iPayroll with your other business tools creates a connected ecosystem that works in real-time, reduces admin, and improves accuracy across the board.
With integration, iPayroll automatically reflects changes in pay rates, leave balances, KiwiSaver contributions, and deductions. Tax calculations are kept accurate and compliant with Inland Revenue (IR) requirements, and payday filing happens seamlessly in the background.
When your HR platform integrates with iPayroll, updates to employee records only need to happen once. New hires, terminations, and pay changes automatically flow into payroll, reducing double-handling and improving accuracy.
iPayroll also includes built-in HR functionality like employee document storage, emergency contact fields, and HR reporting tools. Whether you want a light HR solution or to integrate with platforms like MyHR, enableHR or Hart, iPayroll offers flexibility without over-complication.
Payroll is a major business cost, and your accounting system needs to reflect that. With integration, payroll journals automatically post to your general ledger. This feature saves time, avoids manual entry, and ensures your financial reports are always up to date.
iPayroll integrates with Xero, MYOB, Microsoft Dynamics GP, and other major accounting platforms to streamline your end-of-pay-cycle processes and support faster financial decision-making.
When payroll, HR, and accounting systems are connected, the benefits are clear:
Say goodbye to double-entry and spreadsheet workarounds. Integration eliminates repeat data entry, reduces manual errors, and keeps everything in sync, from employee bank details to tax codes.
Staying compliant with New Zealand employment law, Holidays Act obligations, and IRD reporting requirements is simpler with integrated data. iPayroll’s built-in checks and real-time reporting help prevent underpayments or reporting delays, giving you confidence that you’re getting things right.
Want to track leave liabilities, understand wage costs, or analyse payroll trends? With integration, these insights are available at your fingertips. Accurate, up-to-date data supports smarter planning, budgeting, and audit prep without the spreadsheet stress.
From onboarding to requesting leave, employees benefit from faster processes and clearer communication. Pay changes flow through automatically, leave balances are accurate, and payslips are delivered via the Employee Kiosk or app. That means fewer payroll queries for your team and more trust from your staff.
When your payroll system does the heavy lifting, your team can focus on strategy, people, and growth, not paperwork. Whether you’re a small business or a growing operation, that’s time better spent.
Some platforms offer bundled HR, payroll, and accounting in a single product, but they often come with trade-offs like clunky interfaces, complex pricing, or limited features.
iPayroll gives you the best of both worlds. You get a full-featured, New Zealand-compliant payroll system that integrates with your choice of HR and accounting tools. That means you can create a solution that fits your needs with no compromises.
