9 Deel Integrations: Make Payroll Easier for Your Startup

Technology helps to streamline businesses of various sizes, but standalone tools can have the opposite effect, making processes clunky and scattered. As a robust, centralized system, Deel offers a selection of integrations to make payroll, and associated administrative tasks easier for global startups. 

Deel integrates with your favorite third-party software to make all HR and payroll processes easy and efficient. Integrating these tools with our payroll software makes global hiring and payments effortless. 

While Deel offers an expansive list of integrations, we’ve chosen a few of the most popular to show you how Deel users can connect their software with the platform to streamline and automate specific processes so business owners can reduce human error and save time.

1. Expensify plugin

As an accounting and spending management software, businesses use Expensify to complete various financial recording tasks. For example, Expensify makes it easy to track expenses, scan receipts, pay bills, run payroll, collect payments, track mileage, and submit expense reports. Monitoring these tasks in a startup, where every penny counts toward growth, is essential.

With the Expensify plugin, managing various aspects of accounting becomes easier — from profitability management to general ledger tasks. The Expensify plugin can track and approve employee expenses, automate reimbursement workflows, and effortlessly reconcile financial data. 

Integrating with Deel can reduce administrative burdens, minimize errors, and offer valuable insights into spending patterns. These benefits are crucial when starting a new company, allowing business owners to focus more energy on growth and expansion.

The Expensify plugin syncs with Deel to configure the team’s expenses and determine which payroll entities to sync expenses for. The plugin can also be used for EOR employees and contractors, helping streamline the management of approved expenses for various employment contracts.

2. Expensify integration

3. NetSuite and NetSuite Bookkeeping

NetSuite and NetSuite Bookkeeping are complimentary cloud-based business management platforms that assist with vendor management, creating custom expense categories, and custom field mappings. 

NetSuite also offers a beta version of journal entries, a method of double-entry bookkeeping. Journal entries ensure accuracy in global payroll processes by posting approved changes to accounts and offsetting debits and credits. These entries need to be approved before being posted, leading to enhanced accuracy, reduced labor, and improved workflow.

The powerful integration allows startups to merge accounting, bookkeeping, and payroll processes into a unified system, enabling you to effortlessly track expenses, manage invoices, streamline payroll, and access current financial insights. 

As an efficient enterprise resource planning solution, the integration removes the need for manual data entry, thereby reducing errors and boosting efficiency. As a startup, achieving accurate financial reporting and optimizing resource allocation to make strategic decisions is important — and the NetSuite-Deel integration allows for just that. 

NetSuite works with secret token technology, which generates a random, encrypted number to act as user authentication information. Not only does access token management offer robust security, but it also allows businesses to scale with flexibility and efficiency.
