Prepare Payroll Data Automatically for ADP/Gusto
Cut payroll admin time in half by automating data prep.
Nora pulls employee time tracking, leaves, and adjustments from QuickBooks, formats them for your payroll service (ADP, Gusto, etc.), and flags anomalies (missing time, unusual hours) before submission.
Each pay period, instead of manually extracting hours worked, leaves taken, and bonuses from multiple systems, Nora pulls this data from QuickBooks (time entries, project allocations, payroll adjustments), validates it, and formats a CSV ready to upload to your payroll service. It flags anomalies: employees with zero hours logged, unusual overtime, missing time entries for the period. Finance team reviews the flagged items, corrects them, and Nora resubmits. Payroll admin becomes a check rather than a rebuild, and missed hours or overpayments are flagged before submission. Payroll goes out on numbers checked against the timesheets, not retyped from them.
Runs manually triggered 2 days before pay date using QuickBooks, run by your Finance Manager.
