Payroll and grants, tracked funder by funder.

You might need this if

Payroll runs fine, but the allocations rarely feel solid.

1

Payroll costs need to be split by program, grant, or contract.

2

Grant reports take too long to prepare at deadline time.

3

Staff are funded across multiple contracts and it's hard to track.

4

Funder categories do not match your default accounting categories.

5

Remittances or year-end slips have been filed late or incorrectly.

6

You want payroll that fits into your nonprofit's monthly rhythm.

Want to see what this would look like in your payroll? Start with a free, no-pressure review of your current payroll and allocation rhythm.

How it works

A simple rhythm from setup to every pay run.

01

Review the setup

We look at your payroll reports, funder contracts, allocation rules, and current filing rhythm.

02

Build the allocation

We set up an allocation model based on your program delivery and apply it with each payroll run.

03

Run it every cycle

Payroll gets processed, remittances filed, and funder-ready reports produced automatically.

Outcome Payroll has backup

Allocations connect to payroll reports instead of living in disconnected spreadsheets.

Outcome Funders see their share clearly

Grant and program reporting matches exactly what was paid and when.

Outcome Year-end is one less scramble

T4/T4A slips and remittances are ready without a last-minute rush.
