Great for an in house team

The automation means we approve a pay run rather than build one. Only real gripe is that it is more than the smallest employer needs.

Pros

The automation means we approve a pay run rather than build one.

Cons

It is more than the smallest employer needs.

Payroll that feels modern

The interface is the first payroll tool our team enjoys using, and the integration into our accounting posts the journal for us. Pricing is quoted rather than published, but we live with it.

Pros

The interface is the first payroll tool our team enjoys using.

Cons

Pricing is quoted rather than published.

Great for an in house team

Onboarding a new finance hire onto it took an afternoon, and the automation means we approve a pay run rather than build one. No complaints so far.

Pros

Onboarding a new finance hire onto it took an afternoon.

Cons

Payroll only, so HR lives elsewhere.
