How payroll and a 401(k) work together

Our platform will securely sync your QuickBooks Payroll and Guideline 401(k) data so any updates or changes will be reflected in both places automatically—saving you time and hassle.

  • Simple employee onboarding

    When employees become eligible to join the plan, we’ll notify and enroll them on your behalf—and provide full support along the way.

  • Hassle free plan administration

    401(k) contributions are automatically deducted each pay run. No need to maintain deductions or manually re-enter payroll data.
