Campfire + Justworks

Justworks payroll syncs to Campfire automatically — every run journalized without manual work.

Overview

Justworks is the PEO and payroll platform trusted by over 10,000 growing companies to manage payroll, benefits, compliance, and HR administration. Built for startups and scaling businesses, Justworks handles the complexity of becoming an employer — so founders and finance teams can focus on building the business.

Why connect Campfire + Justworks

Payroll journal entries on autopilot

Every Justworks payroll run syncs to Campfire via Finch and creates a fully coded journal entry. Wages, employer taxes, and benefits contributions are mapped to your chart of accounts automatically — no manual payroll entry required.

PEO structure reflected in your books

Justworks operates as a PEO, meaning the employment relationship has specific accounting implications. Campfire handles the PEO structure correctly — employer of record costs, benefit plan allocations, and administrative fees all journalized accurately.

Close payroll the day you run it

Campfire creates the payroll journal entry the moment Justworks processes the run. Your books reflect payroll immediately — no waiting for reports, no manual reconciliation.

How It Works

  1. Justworks payroll data — wages, taxes, benefits, and employer contributions — is captured via Finch and sent to Campfire on each payroll run.
  2. Campfire maps the payroll data to your chart of accounts, creates the journal entry, and applies department coding based on your employee setup in Justworks.
  3. Your finance team reviews the auto-generated payroll entry in Campfire and approves it — payroll close done in minutes.
