PayPunch is time tracking built for the way bookkeepers actually work. Instead of one company tracking its own staff, a bookkeeping firm uses PayPunch to collect hours across all of the client companies it does payroll for — each kept cleanly separated — and turn those hours into a QuickBooks-ready export.

​
The problem it solves

Bookkeepers spend hours every pay period chasing timesheets from clients, deciphering handwritten hours, and re-typing them into QuickBooks. Mistakes creep in, payroll runs late, and nobody enjoys it. PayPunch removes the re-keying. Employees clock their own hours, owners approve them, and the bookkeeper exports a finished file.
IIF is the PayPunch payoff. Approved hours export straight to a QuickBooks Desktop .IIF file — no manual re-keying. This is what saves bookkeepers 30–40% of payroll processing time. See the IIF Export walkthrough.

​
Who PayPunch is for

Bookkeeping firms

The tenant. Manages every client company, employee, and payroll run from one admin console.

Client companies

The bookkeeper’s customers. Owners and managers review and approve their own team’s hours.

Employees

Field workers and staff who clock in and out and view their own time.

​
What makes it different

  • Multi-tenant by design. One bookkeeper org holds many client companies; data is isolated per tenant so a client only ever sees its own people.
  • IIF export is the flagship. Approved time becomes a QuickBooks Desktop .IIF file in one step — the feature that saves 30–40% of payroll processing time.
  • PIN-based clock-in. Employees don’t need accounts or passwords to log hours — a short PIN on a shared time clock is enough.
  • A real approval workflow. Hours move through clear states (submitted → reviewed → approved → exported) with a full audit trail.

​
What it is not

PayPunch collects and exports time. It is not a full payroll processor — it doesn’t cut checks or file taxes. It hands clean, approved hours to QuickBooks, where your existing payroll process takes over.
