Payroll Journal Entry Prep

Woodrow turns payroll provider outputs into journal entries formatted for your GL—mapping pay categories to your chart of accounts, allocating across entities and cost centers, and handling period-end cutoffs—then routes every entry for review.

Payroll Journal Entry Prep: Execution Plan

Pull Payroll Outputs

Retrieve gross pay, taxes, deductions, and employer contributions from your payroll provider for the selected period. Organize by entity, department, and cost center.

step 2

Map to Chart of Accounts

Translate each payroll category to the right GL account, allocate across entities and cost centers, and apply period-end cutoffs so amounts land in the correct period.
