Payroll lives where your books live
No more exporting from Gusto or ADP and importing into QuickBooks. Run payroll, see the cost, and watch it post to the ledger — all in one place.
Time tracking your hourly team will use
Nursery, facilities, worship, and event staff clock in from their phone. Managers approve hours before payroll runs, so finance is never chasing screenshots.
Every paycheck split by fund and ministry
Allocate pay across funds, departments, campuses, events, and roles automatically. Board reports and budget views finally match how your church actually spends.
