Announcing five new time-saving tools for accountants

A lot has changed since we announced Rippling for Accountants back in late 2018. We’re now partnering with hundreds of CPA firms and have built out a team of Rippling advisors dedicated to making our accountant partners successful.

But our vision has remained the same: dramatically increase the value of the strategic services you offer clients, by eliminating your administrative busy work.

Which is why, today, we want to announce exciting updates to our product to meet the growing needs of our partners, including:

• Robust, customizable job codes 

• The industry’s best API integrations with general ledger (GL) systems (QBO, Xero, Sage Intacct, and Netsuite)

• Fully customizable reporting

• Real-time payroll run comparison that makes it simple to spot errors and discrepancies

• Our accountant partner directory, which allows you to grow your business by showcasing your firm and services to our entire customer base

See where employees’ time is going — and what it’s costing you

Rippling now supports robust, customizable job codes to track hours and labor costs across job functions, departments, locations, projects, and any other use case that you can think of. It also allows you to change employees’ pay rates as they move from client to client, location to location, and so on.

In addition, our new built-in Time & Job Cost report allows you to instantly group and view your company’s payroll data by job code, so you can view your labor costs by client, project, and so on.

For example: you can see how much it costs to build Product A vs Product B by tracking engineer time and salary by project. Or gauge the profitability of a specific store by tracking employee hours and costs by location.

Rates and hours worked will sync automatically to payroll with our integrations with time and attendance apps like Deputy and TSheets, and taxes (even multi-state) are calculated too. No need to reconcile hours with spreadsheets or keep track of CSVs any longer.

You’re not just stuck with canned, pre-built reports. With Rippling, we know your clients have unique financial needs when it comes to reporting, so we’ve made it possible to build beautiful custom reports as easily as it is to build a pivot table in Excel.

You’ll still be able to generate all the standard reports you need, from payroll journals and cash requirements to PTO and more. Or create custom reports and graphs using any employee attribute in Rippling. Since we’re the single source of truth for employee data, you can easily bring in valuable HR, Ben Admin, and custom dimensions (like job codes) without having to log into another system.

Once you've filtered, aggregated, and created the perfect visualization for your report, you can easily share it with (and restrict access to) your client's leadership team. Or simply save the report and review it as part of your monthly check-in process with each client.
