Payroll into your books, effortlessly.
Bluubin posts payroll straight through via automatic integration, or hands you a clean file to download — so the month-end journal that usually eats an afternoon takes care of itself.
Getting payroll into your accounts is the step that quietly eats an afternoon every month — copying gross pay, PAYE, UIF and deductions from the payroll into the general ledger, line by line, and then hunting for the reason it won't balance. Bluubin removes it: post payroll straight through to your accounts via automatic integration, or download a clean, correctly-structured journal file to import yourself.
Either way there's no manual re-keying and no journal that refuses to balance — month-end is faster, more accurate, and a lot less tedious. The debits and credits are built from the same payroll run you just approved, so they add up by construction.
It also keeps payroll and your accounts permanently in step. Because the journal reflects exactly what the run produced — gross pay, PAYE, UIF, SDL, other deductions and company contributions — your books stay accurate without anyone reconciling two systems by hand. Whether you post automatically or import the file, the two sides always agree.
Straight-Through Posting
Post payroll directly into your accounts via automatic integration, so the figures flow through the moment a run is finalised — no exporting, no importing, and no manual re-keying between systems.
Or Download a Clean File
Prefer to import it yourself, or run your accounts elsewhere? Bluubin hands you a clean, correctly-structured journal file ready to load, so you keep full control over when and how it posts.
Balanced by Construction
The journal is built straight from the payroll run, so debits and credits match automatically. There's no more staring at an out-of-balance entry trying to find the rand that went missing.
Month-End in Minutes
The payroll journal that usually eats an afternoon takes care of itself, so month-end is faster and far less error-prone — freeing the time you'd have spent capturing for work that actually needs judgement.
