# Reports for Your Bookkeeper

> Payroll journals, tax reports, QuickBooks sync, and how to give your accountant access.

Read this when your bookkeeper, CPA, or finance team asks for payroll data, or at month and quarter end.

***

## Give them access instead of exporting

The simplest option: invite your bookkeeper as a Viewer from **Organization → Users**. They can open every payroll, download reports, and see tax documents, but can't change anything. If you have more than one company on Bolto, invite them to each. See [Users & Roles](/hr/users-and-roles).

## Reports in Bolto

| Report | Where | What's in it |
| - | - | - |
| Payroll summary (payroll journal) | Open any submitted payroll, then download | Per employee: gross pay, each earning line, employee taxes, employer taxes, deductions, and net pay. Includes contractors paid in the run. CSV. |
| Tax liability report | Same payroll detail page | Taxes withheld and employer taxes for the run, by jurisdiction |
| Payroll history export | Payroll → Payroll History → export | One row per payroll run with totals. Use the per-run journal for per-employee detail. |
| Contractor payment history | Contractors → Payments → export | Each contractor payment with date, amount, and status. US and international are in the same list. |
| Time-off exports | Employees → Time off | Requests and balance transactions, CSV |
| Tax filings | Organization → Documents → Tax documents | Copies of quarterly and annual returns Bolto filed |
| Team export | Team Directory | Employees and contractors with type, location, start date, and status |

## Month-end close

For each payroll in the month, download the payroll summary and give it to your bookkeeper. The debit on your bank statement equals net pay plus all taxes for that run, and the journal reconciles to it. International contractor runs show as a separate ACH charge for the funding invoice.

## QuickBooks Online

Connect QuickBooks from **Organization → Integrations → QuickBooks**. Payroll journal entries post automatically after each run. Your bookkeeper will usually ask you to do this. Once connected, they can map accounts in QuickBooks.

## Other requests

* **Employee census** for benefits renewals or 401(k) testing (names, DOB, hire date, salary, state): not a self-serve export yet. Email support with the fields you need and we'll send a CSV.
* **Which states you have employees in:** the Taxes & Compliance page lists every state with its status. A Viewer can see it.
* **Year-to-date wages and taxes per employee:** on each employee's paystubs, or ask support for a YTD summary.
* **Proof of income or employment letters:** employees can download paystubs from their portal. Bolto doesn't take part in automated employment verification services yet.
* **API or webhook access:** not available yet. Contact your account manager if you need it.
