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. This reduces payroll admin time from 4-6 hours to 30 minutes per pay period and prevents errors (missed hours, overpayments). Companies report 99% error-free payroll submission and 2 hours saved per pay cycle.

How it works

  1. Query QuickBooks time tracking entries for the pay period
  2. Extract employee hours by project/department
  3. Pull paid leave records (vacation, sick, etc.)
  4. Include payroll adjustments (bonuses, reimbursements, deductions)
  5. Validate data: flag zero-hours, missing entries, unusual patterns
  6. Format CSV for payroll service upload and email to finance team
