The Payroll Reconciliation Challenge

Payroll touches multiple systems — payroll processors (ADP, Paychex, Gusto), the general ledger, tax filing systems, benefits platforms, and time-tracking tools. Discrepancies between these systems create compliance risk and financial misstatement. Manual reconciliation is tedious and error-prone, especially for organizations with multiple states, entities, or pay frequencies.
