Compass Payroll

Automated payroll with statutory compliance built into the model.

The problem

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.

How we build in this space

Statutory rules held as versioned configuration and every run reproducible, so a payroll from six months ago can be recalculated and explained line by line.

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.

Talk to us first

Scope here varies enormously between businesses, so we start with a short discovery rather than a feature list. You get a written architecture, a roadmap, and an honest estimate — and a clear answer on what we already have versus what we would build for you.
