Checkr and Intuit Partner to Embed Background Checks Into QuickBooks Payroll

Checkr, the data platform for safe and fair hiring, has entered a multi-year partnership with Intuit, embedding its background check technology directly into QuickBooks Online Payroll and Intuit Enterprise Suite. The integration aims to help small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) streamline hiring, reduce friction, and ensure compliance—all within a single, unified workflow.

As SMBs face tight labor markets and increasing regulatory complexity, fragmented systems create delays and risk. By integrating background checks into payroll and HR workflows, the partnership simplifies hiring for millions of businesses relying on Intuit’s suite of tools, including TurboTax, Credit Karma, QuickBooks, and Mailchimp.

“Small and mid-sized businesses today are expected to hire with the same speed and sophistication of large enterprises, yet many still rely on fragmented systems,” said Kristen Faris, Senior Vice President of Sales Solutions at Checkr. “Embedding our background check technology into QuickBooks makes it easier for businesses to hire safely, confidently, and efficiently.”

Olivier Bartholot, VP and Segment Leader at Intuit Workforce Solutions, added, “Growing businesses want tools that work seamlessly, without adding complexity to already stretched teams. This integration streamlines the hiring process and increases trust among employers expanding their workforce.”

Key Benefits of the Integration

  • Seamless Workflow: Background checks appear directly in employee profiles for real-time status visibility.

  • Operational Efficiency: Automated screening accelerates hiring and reduces administrative burden.

  • Trust and Compliance: Checkr’s system ensures fair, accurate checks to support safer hiring and navigate regulations.

  • Unified Experience: Payroll, HR, and screening tools now live in a single platform, eliminating friction for resource-constrained teams.

The integration is available now for all QuickBooks Online Payroll and Intuit Enterprise Suite customers. Checkr and Intuit plan to continue enhancing the unified workflow to help SMBs hire faster, stay compliant, and compete effectively in today’s labor market.
