Questions accounting firms ask

Straight answers, before you start.

No. Your accountants still make the calls. Saturation gets the inputs to them coded and with their backup attached, so less of the week goes on data entry.

Yes. Each client production is its own project, and people are given a role on the projects they work on. A client’s producer sees their project and not the others.

Drop in a payroll CSV. Saturation maps its columns, splits each timecard into wage and fringe lines and codes them to the budget accounts for you to review before posting.

Saturation connects to accounting software, including QuickBooks Online, and maps budget accounts to your general ledger. Ask us about your system on a demo.Integrations
