Compass Payroll

Automated payroll with statutory compliance built into the model.

The problem it solves

Payroll is unforgiving: it must be correct, on time, and defensible to an auditor. Spreadsheet steps in the middle of that process are where errors and audit gaps come from.

What it does

Statutory rules are held as versioned configuration rather than hard-coded, and every run is reproducible — so a payroll from six months ago can be recalculated and explained line by line when someone asks.

How we build it

It starts with a written architecture document, reviewed with stakeholders before a line of code is written. AI is designed into the data model rather than bolted on afterwards. Tenant isolation, access control, and audit trail are part of the initial design — not a pre-launch scramble. The work ships in reviewable stages, built by one accountable senior team.

Where it stands

Built and running. We can walk you through it working — the real product, not a mockup. Scope varies between businesses, so a short discovery tells you exactly what is already there versus what we would extend for you. Named client references and measured outcomes get published here only once they are real and verifiable.
