QuickBooks Enterprise simplifies many of these tasks through two built-in payroll options: Enhanced Payroll and Assisted Payroll.

QuickBooks Enterprise Desktop – Assisted Payroll
Transcript
Hi, I’m Thomas Younger, Partner Development Manager at Intuit, and today I’ll explain QuickBooks Desktop Assisted Payroll, another payroll option available with QuickBooks Enterprise.
Assisted Payroll is included with QuickBooks Enterprise Diamond. It is designed for businesses that want more help with payroll, especially when it comes to payroll tax payments and filings.
With Assisted Payroll, you can still run payroll within QuickBooks Enterprise, but Intuit helps take care of key payroll responsibilities. This includes automatic payroll tax payments and form filings.
According to Intuit, these filings are guaranteed to be on time and accurate, as long as the business provides correct information on time and has sufficient funds.
Assisted Payroll also provides step-by-step payroll setup guidance and access to payroll specialists who can answer questions when needed. This makes it useful for businesses that want to reduce the manual workload around payroll compliance.
Another benefit is next-day direct deposit. With Assisted Payroll, businesses can submit payroll up to the day before payday, subject to eligibility and setup requirements.
In simple words, Assisted Payroll is a more managed payroll solution inside QuickBooks Enterprise. It is ideal for businesses that want payroll automation, tax filing support, and expert assistance.
And with Ace Cloud Hosting, businesses can access QuickBooks Enterprise Diamond and payroll securely on the cloud, helping teams work remotely while keeping their accounting and payroll environment protected, backed up, and available.
QuickBooks Enterprise Desktop – Enhanced Payroll
Transcript
Hi, I’m Thomas Younger, Partner Development Manager at Intuit, and today I’ll explain QuickBooks Desktop Enhanced Payroll, one of the payroll options available with QuickBooks Enterprise. Enhanced Payroll is included with QuickBooks Enterprise Gold and Platinum.
It is best suited for businesses that want to manage payroll themselves but still need QuickBooks to make the process faster and easier. With enhanced payroll, you can enter employee hours, review payroll details, and pay your team quickly from QuickBooks.
The software helps calculate employee earnings, payroll taxes, and deductions so you don’t have to do everything manually. You can also pay employees through checks, direct deposit, or a combination of both. It also supports 1099 contractor payments through direct deposit.
The important thing to understand is that enhanced payroll gives you the tools, but your team remains responsible for payroll and related compliance steps. So, it’s a good fit for businesses that have someone internally who can manage payroll tasks.
In simple words, Enhanced Payroll is a do-it-yourself payroll solution built into QuickBooks Enterprise. It gives businesses more control while helping them save time on payroll calculations and payments.
And when QuickBooks Enterprise is hosted on the cloud with Ace Cloud Hosting, your team can access payroll and accounting data securely from anywhere while managing the cloud infrastructure, security, backups, and support.
