Great for an in house team

The integration into our accounting posts the journal for us. The interface is the first payroll tool our team enjoys using.

Pros

The integration into our accounting posts the journal for us.

Cons

It is more than the smallest employer needs.

Payroll that feels modern

The interface is the first payroll tool our team enjoys using. The automation means we approve a pay run rather than build one.

Pros

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

Cons

It is newer, so we tested our awkward cases carefully first.

Payroll that feels modern

Onboarding a new finance hire onto it took an afternoon, and it feels like modern software, not a system from 2005. It is newer, so we tested our awkward cases carefully first, but we live with it.

Pros

Cons

It is newer, so we tested our awkward cases carefully first.
