Campfire + TriNet

PEO payroll syncs to Campfire automatically — every run journalized with the full employer structure handled correctly.

Overview

TriNet is the PEO and HR platform trusted by 22,000+ small and mid-sized businesses to manage payroll, benefits, compliance, and HR administration. As one of the largest and most established PEOs in the US, TriNet handles the complexity of being an employer — so growing companies can access enterprise-grade benefits and payroll infrastructure without building it themselves. In 2025, TriNet processed over $70 billion in payroll.

Why connect Campfire + TriNet

PEO payroll journalized correctly

TriNet operates as a PEO, which creates specific accounting implications most general-purpose tools miss. Campfire handles the PEO structure correctly — employer of record costs, benefit plan allocations, and administrative fees all journalized accurately. Every TriNet payroll run syncs to Campfire via Finch and creates a fully coded journal entry without any manual work.

Close payroll the day you run it

Campfire creates the payroll journal entry the moment TriNet processes the run. Your books reflect payroll immediately — no waiting for reports, no manual reconciliation at month-end.

Benefits and compliance costs mapped automatically

TriNet's comprehensive benefits administration means more line items at payroll close. Campfire maps each benefit deduction and employer contribution to the right GL account automatically, so nothing falls through the cracks.

How It Works

  1. TriNet payroll data — wages, taxes, employer contributions, and PEO administrative fees — is captured via Finch and sent to Campfire automatically on each payroll run.
  2. Campfire maps the payroll data to your chart of accounts, creates the journal entry with PEO structure handled correctly, and applies department coding based on your employee setup in TriNet.
  3. Your finance team reviews the auto-generated entries in Campfire and approves them — payroll close done in minutes.
