One Provider for Bookkeeping and Payroll. Zero Handoff Errors.
Stop managing two vendors, two systems, and two sets of numbers that never quite match. KnowVisory Global handles bookkeeping and payroll together, so your general ledger and your payroll records are always in sync.
Why Small Businesses Fail When Bookkeeping and Payroll Aren't Aligned
When your bookkeeper and your payroll provider are two different companies, you become the integration layer between them. That's expensive, and it's risky.
- Handoff errors between bookkeeping and payroll teams cause reconciliation gaps that take hours to track down
- Payroll expenses get posted late or incorrectly into the general ledger, distorting your monthly numbers
- Tax filings are at risk when payroll records and book records don't match
- You're stuck managing vendor relationships, timelines, and communication between two separate providers
- Research indicates finance and accounting issues are among the top 5 reasons small businesses fail

Frequently asked questions
Can one accounting provider handle both bookkeeping and payroll?
Yes. KnowVisory Global manages bookkeeping and payroll under a single engagement, with payroll data flowing directly into your general ledger instead of being handled by two disconnected vendors.
What happens if my bookkeeping and payroll are with different vendors?
You typically end up reconciling the two manually, which creates gaps: payroll expenses posted late to the GL, mismatched tax liabilities, and delays at month-end close. Combining both functions under one provider removes that reconciliation burden.
How does outsourced payroll get posted to my general ledger?
We post payroll accruals, wages, tax liabilities, and deductions directly into your GL as part of the payroll accounting process, so the entries appear in your books in real-time rather than being entered separately after the fact.
What's the cost to outsource bookkeeping and payroll to one provider?
Pricing starts at $7.5–$20/hour depending on payroll volume, employee count, and bookkeeping complexity. There are no setup fees or per-transaction charges—just a straightforward monthly engagement.
How long does it take to set up combined bookkeeping and payroll?
Setup timelines depend on your current records and payroll history, but most small businesses can transition within a few weeks, including data migration, reconciliation of existing records, and integration with your accounting software.
Can you handle multi-state payroll and still keep my books accurate?
Yes. We manage multi-state payroll tax compliance, filings, and withholding requirements, and post all related entries to your general ledger so your books stay accurate regardless of how many states you operate in.
What accounting software do you use for bookkeeping and payroll integration?
We work within QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Zoho Books, and SAP, integrating payroll data directly into whichever platform you already use so there's no need to switch systems.
Will combined bookkeeping and payroll make my books audit-ready?
Yes. Because payroll and bookkeeping are handled by the same team with the same reconciliation process, your payroll records, tax filings, and general ledger stay aligned—giving your CPA or auditor one consistent, documented record instead of two conflicting ones.
