Clean and well integrated

The interface is the first payroll tool our team enjoys using. That said, it is newer, so we tested our awkward cases carefully first and payroll only, so HR lives elsewhere.

The integration into our accounting posts the journal for us. Only real gripe is that payroll only, so HR lives elsewhere.

Posts to the ledger for us

The interface is the first payroll tool our team enjoys using, and onboarding a new finance hire onto it took an afternoon. It is more than the smallest employer needs, but we live with it.
