Tools they use today

  • Rippling
  • ADP
  • QuickBooks
  • EOR
  • Gusto

Why those fall short

  • EOR only fixes setup after the fact, not detection
  • tax advisory is costly and uncertain; HR policies eliminate candidates
  • manual checks still miss local taxes and mid-period location changes
  • manual adjustments, local tax review, transfers and bonuses still done by hand
  • no support for multiple local taxes, custom pay types, state integrations; errors hard to unwind
