Automation actually saves us time

It feels like modern software, not a system from 2005, and onboarding a new finance hire onto it took an afternoon. No complaints so far.

Pros

It feels like modern software, not a system from 2005.

Cons

Payroll only, so HR lives elsewhere.

Clean and well integrated

The automation means we approve a pay run rather than build one. Only real gripe is that it is newer, so we tested our awkward cases carefully first.

It feels like modern software, not a system from 2005, and the integration into our accounting posts the journal for us. It is more than the smallest employer needs, but we live with it.

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
