From one file to four outputs

A payslip does not end when you import it.

The data keeps going to wherever you need it: document, journal entry and tax return.

Official payslip Generates the PDF in line with the Ministerial Order of 27 December 1994.
Payroll journal entry Creates accounts 640/465 and 642/476 without retyping amounts.
Modelo 111 Groups the quarter's withholdings into their boxes (Modelo 111, quarterly withholding return).
Modelo 190 Prepares the annual summary and the recipients under key A (Modelo 190, annual withholding summary).
From file to useful data

The file changes.
The result does not.

Sage · Excel

Reads taxable bases, withholdings and social security contributions from the file you already receive.

A3 · XML

Imports the file from your accountant (gestoría) and keeps the detail of each employee.

Generic CSV

Connects any export, with the column mapping visible on the same screen.

PDF · OCR

Extracts the data from a scanned payslip and lets you review the result before saving.

Validate · normalise

Normalised payslip.

Your accountant keeps their software. Cofactu keeps the original, interprets its format and leaves the same payslip ready for review.

Example of a normalised payslip, reviewed. Source: nóminas_junio.xlsx (Sage). Ready for the payslip, the journal entry and the tax returns.

4 supported formats: Sage (XLSX), A3 (XML), CSV and PDF with OCR. The original file is kept.

No double keying

The journal entry comes from the payslip.
So does the tax return.

Once a payslip has been reviewed, Cofactu keeps its source and links each amount to its journal entry and its tax returns.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers on connecting payroll, accounting and tax without changing how you work.

Read the Modelo 111 guide →
Does Cofactu calculate payroll or only import it?

Cofactu imports and books the payroll that your accountant (gestoría) prepares in Spain. It does not replace your payroll software: it turns the file you receive into a payslip, journal entries and tax data ready for review.

Does the OCR work with any payslip format?

It works with most standard formats. Before you confirm the import, you see a preview of the extracted fields so you can correct anything that needs review.

What happens if I have not switched on the accounting module?

You can import the payroll and feed Modelo 111 and Modelo 190. If you switch on Accounting, Cofactu also generates the journal entries automatically.

Is it for SMEs or for accounting firms?

For both: SMEs that receive payroll from their adviser, and accounting firms (gestorías) that want to hand over a file ready to book, free of transcription errors.
